Diff looks weird for some reason. I noticed that too.

I just added HIDMA_TRE_MEMCPY parameter to hidma_ll_set_transfer_params() function call
from hidma_prep_dma_memcpy() and created a new hidma_prep_dma_memset() function very
similar to memcpy with HIDMA_TRE_MEMSET call difference.

My suggestion is to use kdiff or another visual tool to look at the change.
