X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=3e00ab4ac51c2ed47c28fd5000c47399f1a11cf5;p=GitHub%2Fmoto-9609%2Fandroid_kernel_motorola_exynos9610.git dmaengine: add DMA_PREP_CMD for non-Data descriptors. Some of the DMA controllers are capable of issuing the commands to peripheral by the DMA. These commands can be list of register reads/writes and its different from normal data reads/writes. This patch adds new flag DMA_PREP_CMD in DMA API which tells the driver that the data passed to DMA API is command data and DMA controller driver will form descriptor in the required format. This flag can be used by any DMA controller driver which requires the descriptor in different format for non-Data descriptors.
