Agreed. I will remove port name from DT and only use intel,chans > > what is intel,chans, why not use dma-channels? > The intel,chans says about the channels included on the correspondng port. What do you mean by a port here? > Format is channel start number and how many channels on this port. It is perfectly reasonable to have 16 channels but linux not use use all, lets say from 5th channel channel onwards So you need to use standard dma-channels also with dma-channel-mask to specify which channels linux can use > The reasong behind using this attribute instead of standrad dma-channels > is... > > > DMA_VER22 HW supports 22 channels.
