It is a good practice to include the maintainers for patches, like Sekhar and Vinod in case of eDMA/dmaengine... > drivers/dma/edma.c | 8 ++++++++ > include/linux/platform_data/edma.h | 1 + > 3 files changed, 26 insertions(+) > > diff --git a/arch/arm/common/edma.c b/arch/arm/common/edma.c > index 873dbfc..86ce980 100644 > --- a/arch/arm/common/edma.c > +++ b/arch/arm/common/edma.c > @@ -995,6 +995,23 @@ void edma_set_dest(unsigned slot, dma_addr_t dest_port, > } > EXPORT_SYMBOL(edma_set_dest); > > +#define EDMA_CCSTAT_ACTV (1 << 4) > + > +/** > + * edma_is_actv - report if any transfer requests are active > + * @slot: parameter RAM slot being examined > + * > + * Returns true if any transfer requests are active on the slot > + */ > +bool edma_is_actv(unsigned slot) > +{ > + u32 ctlr = EDMA_CTLR(slot); > + unsigned int ccstat; > + > + ccstat = edma_read(ctlr, EDMA_CCSTAT); > + return (ccstat & EDMA_CCSTAT_ACTV); > +} > + > /** > * edma_get_position - returns the current transfer point > * @slot: parameter RAM slot being examined > diff --git a/drivers/dma/edma.c b/drivers/dma/edma.c > index 3e5d4f1..493c774 100644 > --- a/drivers/dma/edma.c > +++ b/drivers/dma/edma.c > @@ -891,6 +891,14 @@ static u32 edma_residue(struct edma_desc *edesc) > pos = edma_get_position(edesc->echan->slot[0], dst); > > /* > + * "pos" may represent a transfer request that is still being > + * processed by the EDMACC or EDMATC.
