Hi Daniel,

Do you mean this driver ? :
drivers/media/platform/soc_camera/pxa_camera.c

In that case I might help. But before I can do that, I have to be convinced that
dmaengine can deal with this driver. I'm thinking in particular of :
 - "hot running DMA" queuing
 - multiple DMA channel synchronization (ie. 3 channel sync)

All that is described in there :
  Documentation/video4linux/pxa_camera.txt

If someone with dmaengine knowledge could have a look at pxa_camera.txt (maybe
Vinod ?) and tell me that dma_engine framework fullfills the 2 requirements,
then I'll be happy to help.

One minor point though is that I'm working on pxa27x. If the serie is not
compatible in a way with pxa27x, I won't be able to do anything.

Another point I'd like to know, is what is the performance penalty in using
dmaengine, and do you have any figures ?

Lastly, they was debug information to debug descriptors chaining, channel
statuses, requestors. I didn't see where these had gone, could you point me to
the right file ?

Cheers.
