[PATCH 1/3] dt-bindings: dma: Add documentation for DMA domains

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

 



On systems where multiple DMA controllers available, non Slave (for example
memcpy operation) users can not be described in DT as there is no device
involved from the DMA controller's point of view, DMA binding is not usable.
However in these systems still a peripheral might need to be serviced by or
it is better to serviced by specific DMA controller.
When a memcpy is used to/from a memory mapped region for example a DMA in the
same domain can perform better.
For generic software modules doing mem 2 mem operations it also matter that
they will get a channel from a controller which is faster in DDR to DDR mode
rather then from the first controller happen to be loaded.

This property is inherited, so it may be specified in a device node or in any
of its parent nodes.
