[PATCH 11/31] dma: add channel request API that supports deferred probe

Fri Nov 15 15:54:06 EST 2013


From: Stephen Warren <swarren at nvidia.com>

dma_request_slave_channel() simply returns NULL whenever DMA channel
lookup fails. Lookup could fail for two distinct reasons:

a) No DMA specification exists for the channel name.
   This includes situations where no DMA specifications exist at all, or
   other general lookup problems.

b) A DMA specification does exist, yet the driver for that channel is not
   yet registered.

Case (b) should trigger deferred probe in client drivers. However, since
they have no way to differentiate the two situations, it cannot.

Implement new function dma_request_slave_channel_or_err(), which performs
identically to dma_request_slave_channel(), except that it returns an
error-pointer rather than NULL, which allows callers to detect when
deferred probe should occur.

Eventually, all drivers should be converted to this new API, the old API
removed, and the new API renamed to the more desirable name. This patch
doesn't convert the existing API and all drivers in one go, since some
drivers call dma_request_slave_channel() then dma_request_channel() if
that fails. That would require modifying dma_request_channel() in the
same way, which would then require modifying close to 100 drivers at once,
rather than just the 15-20 or so that use dma_request_slave_channel(),
which might be tenable in a single patch.

acpi_dma_request_slave_chan_by_index() doesn't actually implement
deferred probe. Perhaps it should?

This patch is part of a series with strong internal depdendencies. I'm
looking for an ack so that I can take the entire series through the Tegra
and arm-soc trees. The series will be part of a stable branch that can be
merged into other subsystems if needed to avoid/resolve dependencies.
