Enabling poisoning in the dmapool API quickly showed that the DMA
controller was fetching descriptors that should not have been in use.
This has caused intermittent controller lockups during testing.
I have been unable to figure out the exact set of conditions which cause
this to happen. However, I believe it is related to the driver using the
hardware registers to track whether the controller is busy or not. The
code can incorrectly decide that the hardware is idle due to lag between
register writes and the hardware actually becoming busy.
To fix this, the driver has been reworked to explicitly track the state
of the hardware, rather than try to guess what it is doing based on the
register values.
This has passed dmatest with 10 threads per channel, 100000 iterations
per thread several times without error. Previously, this would fail
within a few seconds.

This fixes some minor violations of the coding style. It also changes
the style of the device_prep_dma_*() function definitions so they are

This makes debugging the driver much easier when multiple channels are
running concurrently. In addition, you can see how much descriptor
memory each channel has allocated via the dmapool API in sysfs.

Fix locking. Use two queues in the driver, one for pending transacions, and
one for transactions which are actually running on the hardware. Call
dma_run_dependencies() on descriptor cleanup so that the async_tx API works
correctly.
There are a number of places throughout the code where lists of descriptors
are freed in a loop. Create functions to handle this, and use them instead
of open-coding the loop each time.

When using the Freescale DMA controller in external control mode, both the
request count and external pause bits need to be setup correctly. This was
being done with the same function.
The 83xx controller lacks the external pause feature, but has a similar
feature called external start. This feature requires that the request count
bits be setup correctly.
Split the function into two parts, to make it possible to use the external
start feature on the 83xx controller.

By default, the Freescale 83xx DMA controller uses the PCI Read Line
command when reading data over the PCI bus. Setting the controller to use
the PCI Read Multiple command instead allows the controller to read much
larger bursts of data, which provides a drastic speed increase.
The slowdown due to using PCI Read Line was only observed when a PCI-to-PCI
bridge was between the devices trying to communicate.
A simple test driver showed an increase from 4MB/sec to 116MB/sec when
performing DMA over the PCI bus. Using DMA to transfer between blocks of
local SDRAM showed no change in performance with this patch. The dmatest
driver was also used to verify the correctness of the transfers, and showed
no errors.

Modify the Freescale Elo / Elo Plus DMA driver so that it can be compiled as
a module.
The primary change is to stop treating the DMA controller as a bus, and the
DMA channels as devices on the bus. This is because the Open Firmware (OF)
kernel code does not allow busses to be removed, so although we can call
of_platform_bus_probe() to probe the DMA channels, there is no
of_platform_bus_remove(). Instead, the DMA channels are manually probed,
similar to what fsl_elbc_nand.c does.

The DMA_INTERRUPT async_tx is a NULL transfer, thus the BCR(count register)
is 0. When the transfer started with a byte count of zero, the DMA
controller will triger a PE(programming error) event and halt, not a normal
interrupt. I add special codes for PE event and DMA_INTERRUPT
async_tx testing.

which could be used by devices in the silicon. The driver supports the
Basic mode of Freescale MPC85xx DMA controller. The MPC85xx processors
supported include MPC8540/60, MPC8555, MPC8548, MPC8641 and so on.
