[PATCH v2 0/5] Broadcom SBA RAID support

[Anup Patel]

The Broadcom SBA RAID is a stream-based device which provides
RAID5/6 offload.

It requires a SoC specific ring manager (such as Broadcom FlexRM
ring manager) to provide ring-based programming interface. Due to
this, the Broadcom SBA RAID driver (mailbox client) implements
DMA device having one DMA channel using a set of mailbox channels
provided by Broadcom SoC specific ring manager driver (mailbox
controller).

Important limitations of Broadcom SBA RAID hardware are:
1. Requires disk position instead of disk coefficient 
2. Supports only 30 PQ disk coefficients

To address limitation #1, we have added raid_gflog table which
will help driver convert disk coefficient to disk position. To
address limitation #2, we have extended Linux Async Tx APIs to
check for available PQ coefficients before doing PQ offload.

This patchset is based on Linux-4.10-rc2 and depends on patchset
"[PATCH v4 0/2] Broadcom FlexRM ring manager support"

It is also available at sba-raid-v2 branch of
https://github.com/Broadcom/arm64-linux.git

Changes since v1:
 - Droped patch to add mbox_channel_device() API
 - Used GENMASK and BIT macros wherever possible in bcm-sba-raid driver
 - Replaced C_MDATA macros with static inline functions in
   bcm-sba-raid driver
 - Removed sba_alloc_chan_resources() callback in bcm-sba-raid driver
 - Used dev_err() instead of dev_info() wherever applicable
 - Removed call to sba_issue_pending() from sba_tx_submit() in
   bcm-sba-raid driver
 - Implemented SBA request chaning for handling (len > sba->req_size)
   in bcm-sba-raid driver
 - Implemented device_terminate_all() callback in bcm-sba-raid driver

  async_tx: Handle DMA devices having support for fewer PQ coefficients
  async_tx: Fix DMA_PREP_FENCE usage in do_async_gen_syndrome()
  dmaengine: Add Broadcom SBA RAID driver
  dt-bindings: Add DT bindings document for Broadcom SBA RAID driver
