Re: [Linaro-mm-sig] [RFCv3 1/2] device: add dma_params->max_segment_count

Hi Sumit, Rob,

Is there any reason why this patch hasn't been merged yet? It makes perfect
sense to me and I would really like to use this in the media drivers.

Many DMA engines do have a limit to the number of segments (obviously
a max count of 1 being the most common limitation, but other limits are
definitely possible), so this patch seems a no-brainer to me.

So:

Acked-by: Hans Verkuil <hans.verkuil@xxxxxxxxx>

Regards,

	Hans
