There is a patch series which introduces ACPI DMA helpers in similar way like we have for DeviceTree. In addition it applies this to the first user, namely dw_dmac driver. Andy Shevchenko (6): dma: acpi-dma: introduce ACPI DMA helpers dmaengine: call acpi_dma_request_slave_channel as well dma: acpi-dma: parse CSRT to extract additional resources dw_dmac: add ACPI support ACPI / LPSS: return no error from register_device_clock in special cases ACPI / LPSS: add Lynxpoint DMA controller to the list Documentation/acpi/enumeration.txt | 77 +++++++ drivers/acpi/Makefile | 1 - drivers/acpi/acpi_lpss.c | 11 + drivers/acpi/csrt.c | 159 ------------- drivers/acpi/internal.h | 1 - drivers/acpi/scan.c | 1 - drivers/clk/x86/clk-lpt.c | 2 +- drivers/dma/Kconfig | 4 + drivers/dma/Makefile | 1 + drivers/dma/acpi-dma.c | 447 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ drivers/dma/dmaengine.c | 6 + drivers/dma/dw_dmac.c | 68 ++++-- drivers/dma/dw_dmac_regs.h | 1 - include/linux/acpi_dma.h | 120 ++++++++++ 14 files changed, 717 insertions(+), 182 deletions(-) delete mode 100644 drivers/acpi/csrt.c create mode 100644 drivers/dma/acpi-dma.c create mode 100644 include/linux/acpi_dma.h -- 1.8.2.rc0.22.gb3600c3 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-acpi" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
