v2 cover Add memcpy support for tegra210-adma

This series of patches add memcpy support for tegra210 ADMA engine.

Changlog
v1->v2 (Suggested by Vinod)
* PATCH-1: Split the cyclic pre-check to a separate patch
* PATCH-2: Add ADMA_CH_CTRL_MODE to unify the marcos
* PATCH-2: Set operation mode depending on cyclic
* PATCH-2: Add TODO comment at period_len
* PATCH-2: Revise the commit log

PATCH v2 1/2 dmaengine: tegra210-adma: Add pre-check for cyclic callback

ADMA driver will support more than cyclic type of transaction. So this patch limits the cyclic callback for the cyclic type only in order to support other types.

PATCH v2 2/2 dmaengine: tegra210-adma: Add memcpy support

In reply to Nicolin Chen

ADMA supports non-flow controlled Memory-to-Memory direction transactions. So this patch just adds an initial support for that. It passed a simple dmatest:
echo dma1chan0 > /sys/module/dmatest/parameters/channel echo 1024 > /sys/module/dmatest/parameters/iterations echo 0 > /sys/module/dmatest/parameters/dmatest
echo 1 > /sys/module/dmatest/parameters/run
dmesg | grep dmatest

What would be the benefit of using 8 periods here? My understanding is that you will get an interrupt per period and do you really want this for memcpy?

You are right about the interrupt. And it doesn't seem to be beneficial unless the period size is over the limitation of Transfer Count, which is rare but might theoretically exist?

I admit the "TODO" word here is a bit misleading for memcpy. I can remove the word and write a more appropriate comments.

This series of patches add memcpy support for tegra210 ADMA engine.

Thanks. Any reason you choose this DMA and not the APB DMA? The APB DMA is more of a generic DMA and so for memcpy it would seem to be a good choice and it is available on all Tegras not just Tegra210.

Furthermore, from a power standpoint the ADMA is in the audio power domain and so using it for memcpy would mean the audio power domain is turned on. It may not be a big deal for some, but given the APB is in the CORE domain (always on when not in low-power) it seems like a better choice for power as well.

Just a small clarification:

If I'm not mistaken, APB DMA is mem-to-device, while AHB DMA is mem-to-mem. So, you probably meant AHB and not the APB.

Description from the Tegra TRM:

"The APB DMA Controller is placed between the AHB Bus and the APB Bus and is a master on both buses.

The APB DMA Controller is used for block data transfers from a source location to the destination location. The source may be DRAM or IRAM, and the destination location could be devices placed on APB Bus; or vice versa."

This series of patches add memcpy support for tegra210 ADMA engine.

Thanks. Any reason you choose this DMA and not the APB DMA? The APB DMA is more of a generic DMA and so for memcpy it would seem to be a good choice and it is available on all Tegras not just Tegra210.

Quoted 4 lines

Just a small clarification:

If I'm not mistaken, APB DMA is mem-to-device, while AHB DMA is mem-to-mem. So, you probably meant AHB and not the APB.

Description from the Tegra TRM:

Quoted 7 lines

"The APB DMA Controller is placed between the AHB Bus and the APB Bus and is a master on both buses.

The APB DMA Controller is used for block data transfers from a source location to the destination location. The source may be DRAM or IRAM, and the destination location could be devices placed on APB Bus; or vice versa."

Sorry this appears to be a completely worthless response :-(

I had made the assumption that if the DMA can transfer from APB-to-AHB and AHB-to-APB, it could also do AHB to AHB. However, now I look closely at the registers I see that it cannot and therefore, cannot support memcpy at all! Ok, so ignore my comment here, as it appears only the ADMA can support memcpy. Weird.

On older Tegra's there is AHB DMA controller for mem-to-mem transfers. The K1 manual states that it's been deprecated, however there is an interrupt dedicated to it (probably wrong TRM?). X1 TRM also states the deprecation, doesn't have the interrupt mention that K1 has and has ADMA.
