Subject: [PATCH v3 0/4] i2c: document DMA handling and add helpers for it
So, after revisiting old mail threads and taking part in a similar discussion
on the USB list, here is what I cooked up to document and ease DMA handling for
I2C within Linux. Please have a look at the documentation introduced in patch 2
for further details.
All patches have been tested with a Renesas Salvator-X board (r8a7796/M3-W) and
a Renesas Lager board (r8a7790/H2). A more detailed test description can be
found here: http://elinux.org/Tests:I2C-core-DMA
The branch can be found here:
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/wsa/linux.git renesas/topic/i2c-core-dma-v3
And big kudos to Renesas Electronics for funding this work, thank you very much!
Regards,
Wolfram
Changes since v2:
* rebased to v4.13-rc1
* helper functions are not inlined anymore but moved to i2c core
* __must_check has been added to the buffer check helper
* the release function has been renamed to contain 'dma' as well
* documentation updates. Hopefully better wording now
* removed the doubled Signed-offs
* adding more potentially interested parties to CC
Wolfram Sang (4):
i2c: add helpers to ease DMA handling
i2c: add docs to clarify DMA handling
i2c: sh_mobile: use helper to decide if DMA is useful
i2c: rcar: check for DMA-capable buffers
