v4 cover Determine the number of DMA channels by 'dma-channels' property

The PDMA driver currently assumes there are four channels by default, it might cause the error if there is actually less than four channels. Change that by getting number of channel dynamically from device tree. For backwards-compatible, it uses the default value (i.e. 4) when there is no 'dma-channels' information in dts.

This patch set contains the dts and dt-bindings change.

Changed in v4:
- Remove cflags of debug use reported-by: kernel test robot <[email protected]>

Changed in v3:
- Fix allocating wrong size
- Return error if 'dma-channels' is larger than maximum

Changed in v2:
- Rebase on tag v5.16
- Use 4 as default value of dma-channels

I've got some comments in on the bindings, but I'm assuming it's easier to keep these all together. Happy to take this through the RISC-V tree, but I'm guessing it'll be easier to take these via dmaengine as there's a lot more diff there so

Thanks!

yes, I notice that we usually have a entry with the version in other device nodes, such as "sifive,xxx0", I guess we should have a "sifive,pdma0" there, thanks for your advice, let me add it and use it in match table of pdma driver in the next version.

PATCH v4 3/3 dmaengine: sf-pdma: Get number of channel by device tree

In reply to Zong Li

It currently assumes that there are always four channels, it would cause the error if there is actually less than four channels. Change that by getting number of channel from device tree.

For backwards-compatible, it uses the default value (i.e. 4) when there is no 'dma-channels' information in dts.

Can we get away with just using only the number of channels the driver actually supports? ie, just never sending an op to the channels above MAX_NR_CH? That should leave us with nothing to track.

For backwards-compatible, it uses the default value (i.e. 4) when there is no 'dma-channels' information in dts.

Some of the same wording issues here as those I pointed out in the DT bindings patch.

It might be a bit like when pdma->n_chans is bigger than the maximum, set the pdma->chans to PDMA_MAX_NR_CH, then we could ensure that we don't access the channels above the maximum.

I guess people might need to follow the dt-bindings, so they couldn't specify the number of channels to the value which is more than maximum. But as you mentioned, if people don't notice that and specify it more than maximum, they wouldn't be aware that the higher channels are never used. It seems to me that we could keep returning the error there, or show a warning message and use PDMA_MAX_NR_CH in that situation, both looks good to me.

Hi all, thank you for the review, I'd like to prepare the next version patch, if current implementation of this part is ok to you, I will keep it in the next version. Please let me know if anything can be improved. Thanks
