Currently, the MHI controller driver defines which channels should

We call them, "MHI client drivers"


I'll fix that.


which actually deals with that buffers.

Add a flag parameter to mhi_prepare_for_transfer allowing to specify
if buffers have to be allocated and queued by the MHI stack.

Keep auto_queue flag for now, but should be removed at some point.

Eventhough I'd like Hemant to comment on this patch, AFAIU this looks to
me a controller dependent behaviour. The controller should have the
information whether a particular channel can auto queue or not then the
client driver can be agnostic.

I am fine with his change, and agree that MHI client driver should be able to make the decision.
Having said that, can we merge this on top of UCI :).

Thanks,
Hemant
