Binding is complete for current supported DMA (single channel). We will
extend when we add MCDMA.
We will describe the reason for using channel suffix in the description as
below.
dma-names:
items:
- const: tx_chan0
- const: rx_chan0
description: |
Chan suffix is used for identifying each channel uniquely.
Current DMA has only one Tx and Rx channel but it will be
extended to support for multichannel DMA (MCDMA) which
has 16 TX and 16 RX channels. Depending on the usecase AXI
ethernet driver can request any combination of multichannel
DMA channels.
