This is a preparatory for the serial-to-kfifo switch. kfifo understands

No functional change intended, it's just dmaengine_prep_slave_single()
inline expanded.

And in this case, switch from dma_map_single() to dma_map_sg() too.
This
needs struct msm_dma changes. I split the rx and tx parts into an
union.
TX is now struct scatterlist, RX remains the old good phys-virt-count
triple.

I've just found that this patch broke UART operation on DragonBoard
410c. I briefly checked and didn't notice anything obviously wrong here,
but the board stops transmitting any data from its serial port after the
first message. I will try to analyze this issue a bit more tomorrow.

I double checked, but I see no immediate issues in the patch too. So
please, if you can analyze this more…

I've spent some time digging into this issue and frankly speaking I
still have no idea WHY it doesn't work (or I seriously mixed something
in the scatterlist principles). However I found a workaround to make it
working. Maybe it will help a bit guessing what happens there.

Thanks for looking into this.

I was hesitant if I should use a flag. I should have, apparently.

Quick question:
What's value of CONFIG_NEED_SG_DMA_LENGTH in your .config?

thanks,
