[PATCH 0/6] Broadcom SBA RAID support

[Anup Patel <anup.patel-dY08KVG/lbpWk0Htik3J/w@public.gmane.org>]

The Broadcom SBA RAID is a stream-based device which provides
RAID5/6 offload.

It requires a SoC specific ring manager (such as Broadcom FlexRM
ring manager) to provide ring-based programming interface. Due to
this, the Broadcom SBA RAID driver (mailbox client) implements
DMA device having one DMA channel using a set of mailbox channels
provided by Broadcom SoC specific ring manager driver (mailbox
controller).

Important limitations of Broadcom SBA RAID hardware are:
1. Requires disk position instead of disk coefficient 
2. Supports only 30 PQ disk coefficients

To address limitation #1, we have added raid_gflog table which
will help driver convert disk coefficient to disk position. To
address limitation #2, we have extended Linux Async Tx APIs to
check for available PQ coefficients before doing PQ offload.

This patchset is based on Linux-4.10-rc6 and depends on patchset
"[PATCH v4 0/2] Broadcom FlexRM ring manager support"

It is also available at sba-raid-v1 branch of
https://github.com/Broadcom/arm64-linux.git

Anup Patel (6):
  mailbox: Add new API mbox_channel_device() for clients
  lib/raid6: Add log-of-2 table for RAID6 HW requiring disk position
  async_tx: Handle DMA devices having support for fewer PQ coefficients
  async_tx: Fix DMA_PREP_FENCE usage in do_async_gen_syndrome()
  dmaengine: Add Broadcom SBA RAID driver
  dt-bindings: Add DT bindings document for Broadcom SBA RAID driver
