Hrm, I would say that we need to push everyone to use the new API. sa11x0 should not be a big deal to fix IMHO and other users should be reasonably simple to convert. >>> }; >> >> Basically we are deprecating the use of IORESOURCE_DMA? > > I thought we already had ;-) For DT boot, yes.

Sounds feasible for OMAP and daVinci and for others as well. I think ;) I would go with this if someone asks my opinion :D The core change to add the new API + the dma_map support should be pretty straight forward. It can live alongside with the old API and we can phase out the users of the old one. The legacy support would need more time since we need to modify the arch codes and the corresponding DMA drivers to get the map registered, but after that the remaining drivers can be converted to use the new API. -- Péter -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-crypto" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
