Look closely dw, ioat etc I usually see endpoint specific DMA code to reside in the endpoint device driver not in the dmaengine directory. I think the main question is who the consumer of this DMA controller is like Vinod asked. If it is a general purpose DMA controller then dmaengine would be the right place. If it is specific to your endpoint, then it should be set up and used in your endpoint device driver. -- Sinan Kaya Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. on behalf of Qualcomm Innovation Center, Inc.
