Subject: [PATCH 1/3] doc: dmaengine: client-api: Add immediate commands in the DMA client API
Date: Sun, 19 Sep 2021 20:13:19 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210919144322.31977-2-sireeshkodali1@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20210919144322.31977-1-sireeshkodali1@gmail.com>

Immediate commands are used by the IPA driver to send commands to the
microcontroller over BAM. These are different from PREP_CMD.
