Hi Vinod,

Thanks for the feedback.

Yes, that is correct single bit. 0 means single transfer mode, 1 block transfer mode.

We support 128,256,512 and 1024 bits as well. I will extend enum dma_slave_buswidth to support this in another patch.
Is it ok?

DMAACK output mode is coming from HW manual, A big table of around 230 entries for on chip request with dedicated values for the above bits.

0x000 -- Initial value
0x001 -- 001 (LEVEL Mode) (001 for MTU,PWM,CAN etccc
0x01x -- Bus cycle mode (010 for OSTM,I2C, SSIF)
0x1xx -- DMAACK not to output(SCIF)

It is SoC specific, coming from HW manual. Each on chip peripheral has it's own values.
Even source address/Destination address of the on chip module is also part of that table.

can we do that in dma driver
> instead? While deriving most of the values?

If we add this in DMA driver, it won't be generic. We need to prepare a big LUT(based on MID +RID) for all the peripherals 
If SSI then use a value from LUT, SCIF then another value like that.

So please let me know how do we want to proceed here?

Biju
