>     This patch series is the introduction of new sDMA feature: descriptor

>   Thanks to Adrian Hunter's patch,

> Current version is based on for-next branch + Adrian Hunter's
> interrupt syncronisation patch
> (https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/94670)
> 
> Changes since v7:
>   * Removed the 'fix race condition between DMA and HSMMC callback'
> part of the series
>   * Added memory barries in start and resume sglist transfer for cpu
> buffer syncronization
>   * Cleanup and comments
> 
> This has been tested on OMAP3430, OMAP3630 and OMAP4430 SDP
> for MMC file transfer and as boot file system.

The HSMMC driver changes look good to me. I can ACK that but am not a DMA
expert to review your changes to the DMA driver.
