This is designed to pipeline the operations. For example, we can put mxs-mmc controller register values into scatter list as one element together with actual data. Triggering the mxs-dma, the dma will program the values into mxs-mmc controller register to set up and enable mxs-mmc, and then dma continue transfer data from/to mxs-mmc. All these get done in one dmaengine_submit(). And DMA_NONE was used to let mxs-dma know this is a PIO operation. -- Regards, Shawn -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
