There seems to be a lot of ifdef magic in the code based on these
defines.  Can we move this magic and some of the pure definitions to
drivers/dma/txx9dmac.h?  (See the "#ifdefs are ugly" section of
Documentation/SubmittingPatches)

OK, I will try to clean them up.  But since I don't want to export
internal implementation details, some of the magics will be left in
txx9dmac.c, perhaps.

You only need to hide txx9dmac magic if the header was in include/linux/, but since it will be in drivers/dma/ you can assume it is private.
               }
Is there a reason to keep f'irst' off of the tx_list?  It seems like
you could simplify this logic and get rid of the scary looking
list_splice followed by list_add in txx9dmac_desc_put.  It also seems
odd that the descriptors on tx_list are not reachable from the
dc->queue list after a submit... but maybe I am missing a subtle
detail?

Well, I'm not sure what do you mean...

The completion callback handler of the first descriptor should be
called _after_ the completion of the _last_ child of the descriptor.
Also I use desc_node for both dc->queue, dc->active_list and
txd.tx_list.  So if I putted all children to dc->queue or
dc->active_list, txx9dmac_descriptor_complete() (or its caller) will
be more complex.

Or do you mean adding another list_head to maintain txd.tx_list?  Or
something another at all?

The piece I was missing was that it would make txx9dmac_descriptor_complete() more complex. So, I am fine with the leaving the current implementation.

Dan
