Sure, will take of this in next patch.

All the other registers in between needs no change in values, default
values are fine.
These registers are not accessed and so we didn't defined them.
Let us know if you need them for a reason.

Let me go through this and find the possibility.

All the QMTM manages resources for different subsystems.
So all the 4 QMTM are different, so each of them should have a unique identity.

The memory addresses passed in this macro/function are not used for DMA.
For creating a physical queue in the QMTM hardware, it needs the
physical address
of the queue kmalloc'ed by the driver,

QMTM is managing the queue resources in its hardware for all the clients.
The clients meaning, Ethernet, PktDMA (XOR Engine) and Security Engine,
has zero knowledge of its qm resources.
So for that reason this array defining QMTM's client properties is
defined in QMTM driver

Sure, will take are for the DMA abstraction in next revision.

Since QMTM is managing resource for its client, we have defined the mapping
in the QMTM driver.
So whenever QMTM client like Ethernet driver probe is called, it will
pass on its ID/slave-name
to get its context which is managed by QMTM

I explained in another email the reason for using bit fields.
Let me know if you want me to paste it here again.
