[PATCH 7/7] ARM: PL011: add DMA burst threshold support for ST variants

Russell King - ARM Linux linux at arm.linux.org.uk
Mon Jan 3 05:10:20 EST 2011


ST Micro variants has some specific dma burst threshold compensation,
which allows them to make better use of a DMA controller.  Add support
to set this up.

Based on a patch from Linus Walleij.
