[PATCH 2/8 v4] Documentation: bindings: dma: Add binding for dma-channel-mask

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Some dma channels can be reserved for secure mode or other
hardware on the SoC, so provide a binding for a bitmask
listing the available channels for the kernel to use.

This follows the pre-existing bcm,dma-channel-mask binding.
