[PATCH v6 1/9] i2c: add a message flag for DMA safe buffers

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I2C has no requirement that the buffer of a message needs to be DMA
safe. In case it is, it can now be flagged, so drivers wishing to
do DMA can use the buffer directly.
