Subject: Re: blackfin + dmaengine: conflicting define/enum "DMA_COMPLETE"

Hello,

It's good to "... matched the manual ...", and in this case we can match 
the manual more pedantically, maybe with prefix "HOST".

In the case of Host DMA port STATUS register:

 From manual :
.... HOST_STATUS register bits include:
• DMA Ready (DMA_RDY)
• FIFO Full (FIFOFULL)
• FIFO Empty (FIFOEMPTY)
• DMA Complete (DMA_CMPLT)
• HOSTDP Handshake (HSHK)
• HOSTDP Timeout (HOSTDP_TOUT)
• HOSTDP Interrupt Request (HIRQ).
• Allow Configurations (ALLOW_CNFG)
• DMA Direction (DMA_DIR)
• Bus Timeout Enabled (BTE)

We could change definitions to something like:

#define DMA_CMPLT    0x08        /* DMA Complete */
or
#define HOST_DMA_CMPLT  0x08    /* DMA Complete */

And make the similar for other bits/registers.

Oleks
