This patchset introduces testing through continuous transfer to the PCI
endpoint tests. The purpose is to find bugs that may exist in the endpoint
controller driver. This changes able to find bugs in the DW EDMA driver and
this patchset includes the fix.

This bug does not appear in the current tests because these synchronize to
finish with every data transfer. However, the problem occurs with
continuous DMA issuances. The continuous transfers are required to get high
throughput and low latency. Therefore, the added tests will enable
realistic transfer testing.

This patchset is divided into three parts:
- Remove duplicated definitions and improve some code [1-6/11]
- Add continuous transfer tests [7-9/11]
- Fix for the DW EDMA driver bug [10,11/11]

This patchset has beed tested on RCar Spidar that has dw pci edma chip.

If you want maintainers to review the patches separately, please remove the RFC
tag. Unless you are looking for some overall feedback about the approach.
Got it.

But we are in the process of migrating the existing test under tools to
Kselftest framework [1]. Until then, we cannot accept patches improving the
existing test code. So please respin the patches on top of the Kselftest patch
once it got posted. It's already due for some time :/
I understood. I'll track the work of Kselftest migration.

Also the subject should mention "PCI endpoint".
Yes.
