[PATCH v3 00/11] dmaengine: bcm2835: bugfix + enhancement of driver

[kernel-TqfNSX0MhmxHKSADF0wUEw@public.gmane.org]

From: Martin Sperl <kernel-TqfNSX0MhmxHKSADF0wUEw@public.gmane.org>

This patchset fixes several issues:
* missing residue_granularity to allow better support for I2S
* dma-channels are no longer artificially restricted (channel 0 and 2)
* added correct support for dma-channels 11-14 (changeable via
  the device tree) by using the correct shared irq line with index
  11 into the interrupts list (changeable via device tree)

With this now 11 DMA channels are available instead of 7 - the
additional HW-DMA-channels are:
* 0, 2 (masking of channels)
* 13, 14 (shared interrupts - see also note on channel 12)

It also adds several new features:
* slave_sg support
* dma_memcopy support

For these a consolidated method for creating standard control-block
chains was created to share common between cyclic, slave_sg and
memcopy.

Testing:
* slave_sg
  * spi-bcm2835:
    * fb_st7735r framebuffer
      * tested using mplayer
* cyclic
  * bcm2835-i2s
    * Audio output with a Hifiberry I2S card.
      * tested using mplayer and aplay
* memcopy
  * dmatest

Tests using both slave_sg and cyclic concurrently were also conducted
using mplayer to play BigBuckBunny.

Note that the bcm2835-i2s driver still requires the clock patch-set
enabling the pcm clock.

The last patches (expose registers via debugfs) is optional:
  dmaengine: bcm2835: expose dma registers via debugfs

Note: DMA channel 15 is still not supported because:
* it sits in a separate IO range
* it is used by the firmware
So unless the firmware no longer uses DMA 15, it is not worth
the effort.

Possibly future improvements:
* allow control over channel selection (Lite or normal)
  as well as AXI priorities via the device-tree
* support for memset, memset_sg and interleave
* using DREQ-names instead of magic numbers (via include/dt-binding/...)

Change-log:
  V1 -> V2: * rewrite of the original patch avoiding code duplication
            * splitting of changes into multiple patches
  V2 -> V3: * allow configuration to dma mapping va device tree.
            * adding names binging for DREQs to get used in device-trees
	    * move lite channel detection (via debug register) and using
	      limits of it into separate patch
	    * add debugfs support to see what is actually happening in
	      the dma registers.
	    * incorporated feedback from various people improving
	      code-readability (primarily Patch 7)
