PATCH 1/1 dmaengine: stm32-dma: avoid 64-bit division in stm32_dma_get_max_width

From: Arnd Bergmann <[email protected]>

Using the % operator on a 64-bit variable is expensive and can cause a link failure:

arm-linux-gnueabi-ld: drivers/dma/stm32-dma.o: in function `stm32_dma_get_max_width':
stm32-dma.c:(.text+0x170): undefined reference to `__aeabi_uldivmod'
arm-linux-gnueabi-ld: drivers/dma/stm32-dma.o: in function `stm32_dma_set_xfer_param':
stm32-dma.c:(.text+0x1cd4): undefined reference to `__aeabi_uldivmod'

As we know that we just want to check the alignment in stm32_dma_get_max_width(), there is no need for a full division, and using a simple mask is a faster replacement.

In stm32_dma_set_xfer_param(), it is possible to pass a non-power-of-two length, so this does not work. I assume this would in fact be a mistake, and the hardware does not work correctly with a burst of e.g. 5 bytes on a five-byte aligned address. Change this to only allow burst transfers if the address is a multiple of the length, and that length is a power-of-two number.

No need to check !is_power_of_2(buf_len) here. Just after computing src_maxburst,

	src_best_burst = stm32_dma_get_best_burst(buf_len,
						  src_maxburst,
						  fifoth,
						  src_addr_width);

The configured burst (src_best_best) already take buf_len into account.

So I would remove !is_power_of_2(buf_len) from the if here and fix the missing space:

CHECK: spaces preferred around that '-' (ctx:WxV)
