[PATCH 0/1] dmaengine: xilinx_dma: Set dma_device.directions

[Folker Schwesinger]

Currently it is not possible to use the Xilinx DMA driver as a backend
for IIO drivers. Setting up IIO DMA buffers with
devm_iio_dmaengine_buffer_setup() fails because dma_get_slave_caps()
always returns -ENXIO. The reason is that the Xilinx DMA driver does not
set the directions field in struct dma_device, which is checked in
dma_get_slave_caps().

This patch fixes this issue. It basically is a partial resend of this
patch [1], modified to apply on dmaengine->next. It was discussed back
in 2018 in this thread [2].
As I'm quite new to the kernel dev process, I'm not sure if I should
have included any tags to give credit to the original patch author.
