Subject: [RFC] dmaengine: omap-dma: Start DMA without delay
Remove the use of a tasklet to start the DMA channel when issue_pending is
called.
The use of tasklet delays the DMA start which can cause issues at drivers,
for example the audio drivers expect that the DMA is started right away.

Hi Russell,
I know you are against removing the tasklet since you have planed to move the
omap-dma to use runtime/dynamic DMA channel use.
I have looked at the amba-pl08x.c driver which is doing that exactly (as you
pointed out that to me). AMBA did not use tasklet either and I'm sure we can
change the omap-dma driver to do the same in a same way as we could have done it
with the tasklet use.
I have tested the patch on OMAP3/4 devices and have not seen any ill effects of
this patch.
Currently OMAP audio is affected by the taskelt: we have random channel switch/shift
when starting audio. This is because the DMA is started after (because of the tasklet)
the audio IPs.
We probably need to backport this patch to 3.7 and 3.8 as well after the review
rounds.
Regards,
Peter
