[PATCH 1/5] ARM: define the PrimeCell DMA API

Mon Mar 8 08:52:07 EST 2010


This patch extends the DMA engine with a PrimeCell superset with
three functions: configure DMA channel, stop channel, and one for
getting the number of bytes pending on a channel. These have been
identified as the basic extensions needed to drive DMA on top of
the PL011 and PL180 PrimeCells.
