There is a new generic API to get a DMA channel for a slave device (commit
9a6cecc8 "dmaengine: add helper function to request a slave DMA channel"). In
similar fashion to the DT case (commit aa3da644 "of: Add generic device tree
DMA helpers") we introduce helpers to the DMAC drivers which are enumerated by
ACPI.
The proposed extension provides the following API calls:
acpi_dma_controller_register(), devm_acpi_dma_controller_register()
acpi_dma_controller_free(), devm_acpi_dma_controller_free()
acpi_dma_simple_xlate()
acpi_dma_request_slave_chan_by_index()
acpi_dma_request_slave_chan_by_name()
The first two should be used, for example, at probe() and remove() of the
corresponding DMAC driver. At the register stage the DMAC driver supplies a
custom xlate() function to translate a struct dma_spec into struct dma_chan.
Accordingly to the ACPI Fixed DMA resource specification the only two pieces of
information the slave device has are the channel id and the request line (slave
id). Those two are represented by struct dma_spec. The
acpi_dma_request_slave_chan_by_index() provides access to the specifix FixedDMA
resource by its index. Whereas dma_request_slave_channel() takes a string
parameter to identify the DMA resources required by the slave device. To make a
slave device driver work with both DeviceTree and ACPI enumeration a simple
convention is established: "tx" corresponds to the index 0 and "rx" to the
index 1. In case of robust configuration the slave device driver unfortunately
needs to call acpi_dma_request_slave_chan_by_index() directly.
Additionally the patch provides "managed" version of the register/free pair
i.e. devm_acpi_dma_controller_register() and devm_acpi_dma_controller_free().
Usually, the driver uses only devm_acpi_dma_controller_register().

The patch to add the common DMA binding added a dummy dw_dma_slave
structure into the dw_dma_chan structure in order to configure the
masters correctly. It turns out that this can be simplified if we
pick the DMA masters in the dwc_alloc_chan_resources function instead
and save them in the dw_dma_chan structure directly.
This could be simplified further once all users that today use
dw_dma_slave for configuration get converted to device tree based

When we pause the channel after transfer is completed we might stuck in the
dwc_chan_pause() because the FIFO_EMPTY flag will never be asserted. To avoid
the endless loop we introduce a timeout here (*). The proper solution is to
somehow get the residue in FIFO and avoid busyloop when transfer is done, but
this task is not simple and fast.
Unfortunately we can't use cpu_relax() in conjunction with jiffies checker, due
to we have interrupts disabled by spin_lock_irqsave() and there is a big chance
that no interrupts will come to update the jiffies..
(*) The worst case is
AHB write * FIFO size / hclk = 5.12 us,
where
AHB write = 2 cycles,
hclk = 100 MHz,
burst size = 1 byte,
FIFO size = 256 bytes.
The proposed 40us timeout might be considered as a big one, though we enter
to that state only when we have the transfer already completed.

Instead of doing
modprobe dmatest ...
modprobe -r dmatest
we allow user to run tests interactively.
The dmatest could be built as module or inside kernel. Let's consider those
cases.
1. When dmatest is built as a module...
After mounting debugfs and loading the module, the /sys/kernel/debug/dmatest
folder with nodes will be created. They are the same as module parameters with
addition of the 'run' node that controls run and stop phases of the test.
Note that in this case test will not run on load automatically.
Example of usage:
% echo dma0chan0 > /sys/kernel/debug/dmatest/channel
% echo 2000 > /sys/kernel/debug/dmatest/timeout
% echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/dmatest/iterations
% echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/dmatest/run
After a while you will start to get messages about current status or error like
in the original code.
Note that running a new test will stop any in progress test.
2. When built-in in the kernel...
The module parameters that is supplied to the kernel command line will be used
for the first performed test. After user gets a control, the test could be
interrupted or re-run with same or different parameters. For the details see
the above section "1. When dmatest is built as a module..."
In both cases the module parameters are used as initial values for the test case.
You always could check them at run-time by running
% grep -H . /sys/module/dmatest/parameters/*
