[PATCH v2 0/9] Add support for FDMA DMA controller found on STi chipsets

[Peter Griffin <peter.griffin-QSEj5FYQhm4dnm+yROfE0A@public.gmane.org>]

Hi Vinod,

This patchset adds support for the Flexible Direct Memory Access (FDMA) core
found on STi chipsets from STMicroelectronics. The FDMA is a slim (xp70) core CPU
with a dedicated firmware. It is a general purpose DMA controller supporting
16 independent channels and data can be moved from memory to memory or between
memory and paced latency critical real time targets.

After some discussion with the DT maintainers I've decided not to include the
firmware name in DT, and generate the name based on the compatible string.
This is in keeping with how most other kernel drivers request firmware, and avoids
a new DT firmware name binding.

I've also dropped the xbar support for the moment, as I believe it should be
re-worked based on some of the xbar API's that TI recently added. As requested
I've also split it into smaller patches to help with faster review.

regards,

Peter.

Changes since v1:
 - split into smaller patches for easier / faster review (Vinod)
 - new fill_hw_mode() with common code (Vinod)
 - new config_reqctrl() called from *_prep() instead of device_config cb (Vinod)
 - fdma-xbar support removed (Peter)
 - rework firmware name mechanism so fwname isn't in DT (Peter / Lee)
 - st_fdma_seg_to_mem can be static (Paul)
 - EXPORT_SYMBOL st_fdma_filter_fn not required (Paul)
 - s/channel/channels (vinod)
 - better describe "Must be <3>" (vinod)
 - sizeof(*ehdr) (vinod)
 - print values on error debug (vinod)
 - empty line (Vinod)
 - Update to -EIO (Vinod)
 - Make st_fdma tristate (Paul)
 - Remove __exit tag from .remove (Maxime)
 - Update MAINTAINERS rule to fdma* (Lee)
 - Unit address should match reg property (Lee)
