Merge tag 'cleanup-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/arm/arm-soc
Pull ARM SoC cleanups from Olof Johansson: "This is a good healthy set of various code removals. Total net delta is 8100 lines removed. Among the larger cleanups are: - Removal of old Samsung S3C DMA infrastructure by Arnd - Removal of the non-DT version of the 'lager' board by Magnus Damm - General stale code removal on OMAP and Davinci by Rickard Strandqvist - Removal of non-DT support on am3517 platforms by Tony Lindgren ... plus several other cleanups of various platforms across the board" * tag 'cleanup-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/arm/arm-soc: (47 commits) ARM: sirf: drop redundant function and marco declaration arm: omap: specify PMUs are for ARMv7 CPUs arm: shmobile: specify PMUs are for ARMv7 CPUs arm: iop: specify PMUs are for XScale CPUs arm: pxa: specify PMUs are for XScale CPUs arm: realview: specify PMU types ARM: SAMSUNG: remove unused DMA infrastructure ARM: OMAP3: Add back Kconfig option MACH_OMAP3517EVM for ASoC ARM: davinci: Remove CDCE949 driver ARM: at91: remove useless at91rm9200_set_type() ARM: at91: remove useless at91rm9200_dt_initialize() ARM: at91: move debug-macro.S into the common space ARM: at91: remove useless at91_sysirq_mask_rtx ARM: at91: remove useless config MACH_AT91SAM9_DT ARM: at91: remove useless config MACH_AT91RM9200_DT ARM: at91: remove unused mach/memory.h ARM: at91: remove useless header file includes ARM: at91: remove unneeded header file rtc: at91/Kconfig: remove useless options ARM: at91/Documentation: add a README for Atmel SoCs ...

- S3C2410 DMA
- ===========
-
-Introduction
-------------
-
- The kernel provides an interface to manage DMA transfers
- using the DMA channels in the CPU, so that the central
- duty of managing channel mappings, and programming the
- channel generators is in one place.
-
-
-DMA Channel Ordering
---------------------
-
- Many of the range do not have connections for the DMA
- channels to all sources, which means that some devices
- have a restricted number of channels that can be used.
-
- To allow flexibility for each CPU type and board, the
- DMA code can be given a DMA ordering structure which
- allows the order of channel search to be specified, as
- well as allowing the prohibition of certain claims.
-
- struct s3c24xx_dma_order has a list of channels, and
- each channel within has a slot for a list of DMA
- channel numbers. The slots are searched in order for
- the presence of a DMA channel number with DMA_CH_VALID
- or-ed in.
-
- If the order has the flag DMA_CH_NEVER set, then after
- checking the channel list, the system will return no
- found channel, thus denying the request.
-
- A board support file can call s3c24xx_dma_order_set()
- to register a complete ordering set. The routine will
- copy the data, so the original can be discarded with
- __initdata.
