fsldma: improved DMA_SLAVE support
Now that the generic DMAEngine API has support for scatterlist to scatterlist copying, the device_prep_slave_sg() portion of the DMA_SLAVE API is no longer necessary and has been removed. However, the device_control() portion of the DMA_SLAVE API is still useful to control device specific parameters, such as externally controlled DMA transfers and maximum burst length. A special dma_ctrl_cmd has been added to enable externally controlled DMA transfers. This is currently specific to the Freescale DMA controller, but can easily be made generic when another user is found. Signed-off-by: Ira W. Snyder <iws@ovro.caltech.edu> Signed-off-by: Dan Williams <dan.j.williams@intel.com>
