[PATCH 0/3] scsi: mptbase: switch from 'pci_' to 'dma_' API

[Christophe JAILLET <christophe.jaillet@wanadoo.fr>]

In order to convert this file to the dma_ API, 3 steps are proposed.

The first one is purely mechanical. All the updated memory allocations can
use GFP_KERNEL because of 'mpt_config()' calls. This function can sleep so
it sounds like a reasonable assumption to use GFP_KERNEL.

The 2nd patch may be discussed further. GFP_ATOMIC is needed because at least
one of the caller might sleep.
But if we want to avoid GFP_ATOMIC as much as possible, the 'sleepFlag' could
be passed in order to use the "right" flag. All other callers would need to
be invistigated to see if GFP_ATOMIC or GFP_KERNEL is needed.

The 3rd patch is just a clean up. When 'dma_set_mask_and_coherent' can be
used, it is less verbose than 'dma_set_mask()/dma_set_coherent_mask()'.
In this patch, look at the comment below ---, because the code looks
spurious to me, but as I know neither this hardware, nor the "1078 errata",
I'll let anyone that understand this this code to send the correct fix, if
needed.

Christophe JAILLET (3):
  scsi: mptbase: switch from 'pci_' to 'dma_' API
  scsi: mptbase: switch from 'pci_' to 'dma_' API in 'mpt_alloc_fw_memory()'
  scsi: mptbase: use 'dma_set_mask_and_coherent()' to simplify code
