Typically the OMAP/TI drivers are one-to-one with this specific DMA
controller, but they *can* support controllers without stride options, and
notice that striding will only be used for the display driver IIRC,
pseudo-code:
ret = dmaengine_device_control(chan, TI_DMA_STRIDE_CONFIG,
(unsigned long) &my_stride_config);
if (ret) {
/*
* OK no striding on this DMA engine, fall back to something else,
* such as creating an SGlist which emulates the striding with one
* sglist element per stride.
*/
}
By injecting an error in the stride config path this can even be
properly tested. So it will become an optional acceleration.
