Add DMA controller driver for Lightning Mountain (LGM) family of SoCs.
The main function of the DMA controller is the transfer of data from/to any
peripheral to/from the memory. A memory to memory copy capability can also
be configured.
This ldma driver is used for configure the device and channnels for data
and control paths.

You have a cover letter, use that to keep track of these changes

Do we have any other speeds :D
No other speeds :-)
Right, so possibly drop the speed characterization here!

Another one, looks like folks adding dmaengine patches love this
approach, second one for the day..
Now why do you need the bit fields, why not use register defines and
helpers in bitfield.h to help configure the fields See FIELD_GET,
FIELD_PREP etc
Let me check on this...

Heh! why do you have a copy of dmaengine ops here?
Ok, i will remove the ops and update the code accordingly.

+ int desc_num)
+{
+ struct ldma_dev *d = to_ldma_dev(c->vchan.chan.device);

+ c->desc_cnt = desc_num;
+ c->desc_phys = desc_base;
So you have a custom API which is used to configure this flag, a number
and an address. The question is why, can you please help explain this?
LDMA used as general purpose dma(ver == DMA_VER22) and also supports DMA
capability for GSWIP in their network packet processing.( ver > DMA_VER22)
Whats GSWIP?
Each Ingress(IGP) & Egress(EGP) ports of CQM use a dma channel.
CQM?
GSWIP stands for Gigabit Switch IP, and CQM is Central Queue Manager.
GSWIP & CQM are the clients for the DMA. These are used in networking
purpose to increase transfer rates for peripheral like the GSWIP LAN switch.
Please do add that when using these terms, folks outside Intel may not
be aware of these terms.
Ok
desc needs to be configure for each dma channel and the remapped address of
the IGP & EGP is desc base adress.
Why should this address not passed as src_addr/dst_addr?
src_addr/dst_addr is the data pointer. Data pointer indicates address
pointer of data buffer.
ldma_chan_desc_cfg() carries the descriptor address.
The descriptor list entry contains the data pointer, which points to the
data section in the memory.
So we should not use src_addr/dst_addr as desc base address.
Okay sounds reasonable. why is this using in API here?
descriptor base address needs to be write into the dma register (DMA_CDBA).
CQM client is using ldma_chan_desc_cfg() to configure the descriptior.
+static void dma_issue_pending(struct dma_chan *chan)
+{
+ struct ldma_chan *c = to_ldma_chan(chan);
+ struct ldma_dev *d = to_ldma_dev(c->vchan.chan.device);
+ unsigned long flags;
+
+ if (d->ver == DMA_VER22) {
why is this specific to this version?
Only dma0 instance (ver == DMA_VER22) is used as a general purpose slave
DMA. we set both control and datapath here.
Other instances (ver > DMA_VER22) we set only control path. data path is
taken care by dma client(GSWIP).
Only thing needs to do is get the channel, set the descriptor and just 'ON'
the channel.
CQM is highly low level register configurable/programmable take care about
the the packet processing through the register configurations.
DMAengine fwk take care of channel management for clients and
transaction management, if you not going to do transactions then why
bother with dmaengine ?
dma0 instance (ver == DMA_VER22) uses DMAengine framework for both channel
management and transaction management.
Other instances (ver > DMA_VER22) uses DMAengine mainly for channel
management.
To initiate the transaction client needs to ON the corresponding channel, So
dmaengine ops are using to 'ON' and 'OFF' the channels.
Is the addresses for transactions all hardcoded? WHo configures the
transaction in (ver > DMA_VER22)
No, we are not using any hardcoded addresses.
client fills the the descriptor list entry and Once the descriptor base
address write into register properly and ON the channel DMA transaction
will be initiated.
