I'm just planning to add the DMA_MEMCPY support for omap-dma. With that in place we can convert the remaining legacy API users to use dmaengine (as I recall all of them are using DMA for memcopy) -- Péter -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe dmaengine" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
