Subject: dmaengine: DMA_CTRL_ACK flag signification
Date: Wed, 24 Sep 2008 13:59:16 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <48DA2B94.3020804@atmel.com> (raw)

Hi all,

I am in the process of writing a driver for an on-chip Atmel DMA engine.

I am a little confused about the use of the flag DMA_CTRL_ACK : It seems 
that it is set in most of the descriptors in use except the first or 
last of a descriptor chain. So, I cannot find where this flag is cleared.
In short, I do not see what it is used for : how must I take it into 
account in my driver (in device_prep_dma_memcpy() for instance) ?

Can you enlighten me ?

Regards,
--
