Subject: dmaengine cyclic transfers
Date: Tue, 10 Aug 2010 15:10:32 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20100810131032.GI27749@pengutronix.de> (raw)
Hi All,
I'm just looking into implementing the Freescale i.MX SDMA engine in the
dmaengine API. One usecase of this dma engine is sound. After some
digging I found the following commit:
commit d9de451989a88a2003ca06e524aca4665c0c7f06
Author: Hans-Christian Egtvedt <hans-christian.egtvedt@atmel.com>

dw_dmac: add cyclic API to DW DMA driver
This could be very useful for the SDMA engine aswell. What are the
reasons this is not implemented in the generic dmaengine API but as
an extension to a specific driver? Should I also implement it like
this or isn't it better to extend the dmaengine itself?
Sascha
