DW eDMA doesn't perform any translation of the traffic generated on the
CPU/Application side. It just generates read/write AXI-bus requests with
the specified addresses. But in case if the dma-ranges DT-property is
specified for a platform device node, Linux will use it to map the CPU
memory regions into the DMAable bus ranges. This isn't what we want for
the eDMA embedded into the locally accessed DW PCIe Root Port and
End-point. In order to work that around let's set the chan_dma_dev flag
for each DW eDMA channel thus forcing the client drivers to getting a
custom dma-ranges-less parental device for the mappings.

Note it will only work for the client drivers using the
dmaengine_get_dma_device() method to get the parental DMA device.

No, this is nonsense. If the DMA engine is on the host side of the bridge then it should not have anything to do with the PCI device at all, it should be associated with the platform device, and thus any range mapping on the bridge itself would be irrelevant anyway.

Changelog v2:
- Fix the comment a bit to being clearer. (@Manivannan)

Changelog v3:
- Conditionally set dchan->dev->device.dma_coherent field since it can
   be missing on some platforms. (@Manivannan)
- Remove Manivannan' rb and tb tags since the patch content has been
   changed.

NAK. Don't try to poke into DMA API internals and copy random partial pieces between devices, it doesn't work properly (I can guess that your system doesn't have an IOMMU...) and having to deal with ugly mess like this in drivers just makes it harder for us to maintain the DMA API itself.

Fair enough if you have good reason to create logical child devices to represent individual DMA channels, but the correct way to handle that is to keep the real parent device pointer around and use that for DMA API calls.

Robin.
