Hi All,
This series is the next try to add DMA channels support for DMA controllers which last version was posted by Álvaro Fernández Rojas [1]. i've kept version numbering.
Comparing to the original post I've added few changes: - added possibility to pass DMA driver/channel's specific data per each transfer using additional parameter "metadata" in dma_send/dma_receive() API. For example, port number for network packets to be directed to the specific port on multi port ethernet controllers. - added new dma_prepare_rcv_buf() API which allows to implement zero-copy DEV_TO_MEM transfer using DMA streaming channels which is usual case for Networking. - added dma-uclass test - removed unused function dma_get_by_index_platdata() - updated comments
Hence, originally DMA channels support was introduced to add support for "bmips: add bcm6348-enet support" - that series can be easily updated following DMA channels API changes (if still actual).
Patches 5-6 - Here I'm providing DMA and networking drivers for the new TI AM65x SoC [2] as an illustration of DMA channels API usage only. Unfortunately, those drivers are still under development so NOT-FOR-MERGE (!will not build!) - we'd like code/bindings to be accepted in LKML first. Full sources can be found at [3].

A DMA is a feature of computer systems that allows certain hardware subsystems to access main system memory, independent of the CPU. DMA channels are typically generated externally to the HW module consuming them, by an entity this API calls a DMA provider. This API provides a standard means for drivers to enable and disable DMAs, and to copy, send and receive data using DMA.
DMA channel API: dma_get_by_index() dma_get_by_name() dma_request() dma_free() dma_enable() dma_disable() dma_prepare_rcv_buf() dma_receive() dma_send()
A driver that implements UCLASS_DMA is a DMA provider. A provider will often implement multiple separate DMAs channels, since the hardware it manages often has this capability. dma_uclass.h describes the interface which DMA providers must implement.
DMA consumers/clients are the HW modules driven by the DMA channels.
DMA consumer DMA_MEM_TO_DEV (transmit) usage example (based on networking). Note. In u-boot dma_send() is sync operation always - it'll start transfer and will poll for it to complete: - get/request dma channel struct dma dma_tx; ret = dma_get_by_name(common->dev, "tx0", &dma_tx); if (ret) ...
- enable dma channel ret = dma_enable(&dma_tx); if (ret) ...
- dma transmit DMA_MEM_TO_DEV. struct ti_drv_packet_data packet_data; packet_data.opt1 = val1; packet_data.opt2 = val2; ret = dma_send(&dma_tx, packet, length, &packet_data); if (ret) ..
DMA consumer DMA_DEV_TO_MEM (receive) usage example (based on networking). Note. dma_receive() is sync operation always - it'll start transfer (if required) and will poll for it to complete (or for any previously configured dev2mem transfer to complete): - get/request dma channel struct dma dma_rx; ret = dma_get_by_name(common->dev, "rx0", &dma_rx); if (ret) ...
- enable dma channel ret = dma_enable(&dma_rx); if (ret) ...
- dma receive DMA_DEV_TO_MEM. struct ti_drv_packet_data packet_data; len = dma_receive(&dma_rx, (void **)packet, &packet_data); if (ret < 0) ...
DMA consumer DMA_DEV_TO_MEM (receive) zero-copy usage example (based on networking). Networking subsystem allows to configure and use few receive buffers (dev2mem), as Networking RX DMA channels usually implemented as streaming interface - get/request dma channel struct dma dma_rx; ret = dma_get_by_name(common->dev, "rx0", &dma_rx); if (ret) ... for (i = 0; i < RX_DESC_NUM; i++) { ret = dma_prepare_rcv_buf(&dma_rx, net_rx_packets[i], RX_BUF_SIZE); if (ret) ... }
- enable dma channel ret = dma_enable(&dma_rx); if (ret) ...
- dma receive DMA_DEV_TO_MEM. struct ti_drv_packet_data packet_data; void *packet; len = dma_receive(&dma_rx, &packet, &packet_data); if (ret < 0) .. /* packet - points on buffer prepared by dma_prepare_rcv_buf(). process packet*/ - return buffer back to DAM channel ret = dma_prepare_rcv_buf(&dma_rx, net_rx_packets[rx_next], RX_BUF_SIZE);
