Correct, it is not the client. It is the node of the PSI-L gasket which
in case of native PSI-L peripherals happens to be the same node as the
client's
In K3 DMA architecture the data is moved along PSI-L threads. The
threads are formed when two PSI-L (source and destination) thread ID is
paired.
Since sa2ul is native PSI-L peripheral, the first cell (the phandle to
the PSI-L remove gasket from UDMAP point of view) is pointing to itself.

McASP on the other hand is not native PSI-L, it needs a PDMA to be
serviced (PDMA is a native PSI-L peripheral), so the first cell for
McASP is a phandle to the PDMA gasket which is tasked to service it.

I only omitted properties like clocks, power, regs. As I said the first
call is a phandle to the PSI-L gasket for the peripheral which happens
to be the same in this case as it is a native PSI-L peripheral.

We never had a DMA architecture like what we have here either. The DMA
gives extreme flexibility on how peripherals are configured, parameterized.
The UDMAP replaces the generic system DMA (EDMA/sDMA) and the packet
based networking DMAs as a single entity.
All channels are capable to act on behalf of a completely different DMA
and the only thing which dictates the channel configuration is the
properties of the remote endpoint.

This is on hardware level. On top of this flexibility almost every task
can be implemented in at least two different, but valid ways. Cyclic DMA
for audio for example can be implemented in four ways and all of them
would work just fine.

> I don't think we want to start now. 

Hrm, we have a hardware which gives flexibility to hw designers to have
different features and parameters per PSI-L remote thread IDs. Most of
the networking peripherals are using 16 bytes of Protocol Specific data,
sa2ul uses 64 bytes for the same. For legacy peripherals (via PDMAs) PS
data is not used.
And there are other features for the DMA per threads that somehow needs
to be described and might apply or not apply at all to a given thread.

It is not redundant. McASP for example is not a PSI-L native peripheral,
so it can not have PSI-L configuration nodes. The binding needs to point
to the PSI-L gasket's node, for McASP is is a PDMA, for sa2ul it is itself.

This is not going to work with the flexibility and the wide range of
endpoint parameters, configuration we need for the channel.

I have already moved the TR vs Packet mode channel selection, which does
make sense as it was Linux's choice to use TR for certain cases.

If I move these to code then we need to have big tables
struct psil_config am654_psil[32767] = {};
struct psil_config j721e_psil[32767] = {};

and for each new family member a new one.

Also, if we want add DMA support for a new peripheral we would need to
modify the kernel and the DT in sync (well, kernel first, than DT).

> Or do some combination of the above. 

What about this:
create a new dtsi file per SoC (k3-am654-psil.dtsi, k3-k721e-psil.dtsi)
for the PSI-L threads and inside something like this:

psil-threads: psil-threads {
	...
	/* SA2UL: 0x4000 - 0x4003 */
	ti,psil-config-4000 {
		linux,udma-mode = <UDMA_PKT_MODE>;
		ti,needs-epib;
		ti,psd-size = <64>;
		ti,notdpkt;
	};

	ti,psil-config-4001 {
		linux,udma-mode = <UDMA_PKT_MODE>;
		ti,needs-epib;
		ti,psd-size = <64>;
		ti,notdpkt;
	};

	ti,psil-config-4002 {
		linux,udma-mode = <UDMA_PKT_MODE>;
		ti,needs-epib;
		ti,psd-size = <64>;
		ti,notdpkt;
	};

	...
	/* PDMA6 (PDMA_MCASP_G0): 0x4400 - 0x4402 */
	thread-4400 {
		ti,pdma-statictr-type = <PDMA_STATIC_TR_XY>;
		ti,pdma-enable-acc32;
		ti,pdma-enable-burst;
	};

	thread-4401 {
		ti,pdma-statictr-type = <PDMA_STATIC_TR_XY>;
		ti,pdma-enable-acc32;
		ti,pdma-enable-burst;
	};

	thread-4402 {
		ti,pdma-statictr-type = <PDMA_STATIC_TR_XY>;
		ti,pdma-enable-acc32;
		ti,pdma-enable-burst;
	};

	...
};

Then the binding would look like this for sa2ul:

/* tx: crypto_pnp-1, rx: crypto_pnp-1 */
dmas = <&main_udmap 0x4000 UDMA_DIR_TX>,
       <&main_udmap 0x4000 UDMA_DIR_RX>,
       <&main_udmap 0x4001 UDMA_DIR_RX>;
dma-names = "tx", "rx1", "rx2";

for McASP:
dmas = <&main_udmap 0x4400 UDMA_DIR_TX>,
       <&main_udmap 0x4400 UDMA_DIR_RX>;
dma-names = "tx", "rx";

Then either we can have phandle in the udmap nodes to the psil-threads,
or just find it from the root when needed.

The complexity is coming from the hardware itself. If I can not describe
the hardware than it is not going to be easy for the software to figure
out what it is dealing with.

Sure, I understand.
