The patch titled dmaengine: correct invalid assumptions in the Kconfig text has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was dmaengine-correct-invalid-assumptions-in-the-kconfig-text.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: dmaengine: correct invalid assumptions in the Kconfig text From: Haavard Skinnemoen <hskinnemoen@xxxxxxxxx> This patch corrects recently changed (and now invalid) Kconfig descriptions for the DMA engine framework: - Non-Intel(R) hardware also has DMA engines; - DMA is used for more than memcpy and RAID offloading. In fact, on most platforms memcpy and RAID aren't factors, and DMA exists so that peripherals can transfer data to/from memory while the CPU does other work.
