Peter, any idea when the private usage will be removed fully, and we switch to dmaengine for ASoC? Before that can happen, we can't clean up or do any merges. We have the edma-pcm platform driver upstream already which I'm using locally for a long time now on AM335x/AM437x. I'm planning to send a patch to do the same upstream after the 3.16 window closes. But, davinci-pcm has a mode called 'ping-pong' which is not available via dmaengine and this mode is used by several daVinci SoCs to overcome buffer underflow/overflow issues. This mode essentially means in playback case: dma_ch1 dma_ch2 SDRAM --- SRAM --- McASP ch1 is to move a block of samples to SRAM from where ch2 will copy the samples word by word to McASP. If we move all davinci SoCs to use the edma-pcm, we are going to loose this mode. As a note: the edma-pcm is confirmed to work fine on the tested daVinci boards. I think what we need to do first: find a board which is using ping-pong mode, put under stress test in: - davinci-pcm, ping-pong mode - davinci-pcm, no ping-pong mode - edma-pcm and see how edma-pcm behaves compared to the davinci-pcm. One of the issue with davinci-pcm is that in non ping-pong mode it reconfigures the eDMA after every period, which is a bad thing. The dmaengine implementation does not need to do that, so we might be fine there. What I'd like to do is fold the private API into the dmaengine driver and eliminate the need to expose the private API, thus also getting rid of the interface declarations Olof referred to. thanks, -Joel -- Péter -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line unsubscribe linux-omap in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html

I came across this patch when I was looking at a pull request from
Sekhar for EDMA cleanups, and it made me look closer at the contents
of this file.
The include/linux/platform_data/ directory is meant to hold
platform_data definitions for drivers, and nothing more.
platform_data/edma.h also contains a whole bunch of interface
definitions for the driver. They do not belong there, and should be
moved to a different include file.
That also includes the above struct, because as far as I can tell it's
a runtime state structure, not something that is passed in with
platform data.
Can someone please clean this up? Thanks.

to drivers/dma/edma.c

[PATCH v3 01/10] platform_data: edma: Be precise with the paRAM struct
The edmacc_param struct should follow the layout of the paRAM area in the
HW. Be explicit on the size of the fields (u32) and also mark the struct
as packed to avoid any padding on non 32bit architectures.
