This way I can add support for similar DMA engines. In this process I had to declare some Of the functions non static so that I can suppress "defined but not used" and "used but not defined". Here is what series of patches I planned to work on. 1. First set patches to re-arrange the code. Functionally no change except Structured into different files. 2. Second set to rename the common functions which are shared between SoC dma-engines. 3. Add support of new DMA engine for different SoC. I am working on first patch set right now.
