Tune xDMA interface slightly:
o Move descriptors allocation to DMA engine driver
o Add generic xdma_request() routine
o Add less-generic scatter-gather application based on xdma interface
Typical operation flow in peripheral device driver is:
- Get xDMA controller
sc->xdma_tx = xdma_ofw_get(sc->dev, "tx");
- Allocate virtual channel
sc->xchan_tx = xdma_channel_alloc(sc->xdma_tx, caps);
- Setup transfer status callback
xdma_setup_intr(sc->xchan_tx, my_tx_intr, sc, &sc->ih_tx);
- Request a transfer(s)
ret = xdma_request(sc->xchan_tx, &req);
- Free the channel
xdma_channel_free(sc->xdma_tx);
- Free the controller
xdma_put(sc->xdma_tx);
