Subject: [PATCH] docs: dmaengine: add explanation for DMA_ASYNC_TX capability
Date: Sun, 20 Apr 2025 21:02:05 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250421010205.84719-1-kendra.j.moore3443@gmail.com> (raw)
From: Kendra Moore <kendra.j.moore3443@gmail.com>
This patch replaces the TODO for DMA_ASYNC_TX in the DMA engine
provider documentation. The flag is automatically set by the DMA
framework when a device supports key asynchronous memory-to-memory
operations such as memcpy, memset, xor, pq, xor_val, and pq_val.
It must not be set by drivers directly.
