Please move this header file to drivers/dma/xilinx/ directly to
make it inaccessible by other driver. No driver should pass extra
data structures to a dmaengine driver.

Please move this header file to drivers/dma/xilinx/ directly to
make it inaccessible by other driver. No driver should pass extra
data structures to a dmaengine driver.

Actually that is not true. Few of the drivers need some additional
parameters to be set which are not covered by the common set, hence an
additional API is exposed by this driver to do so...

If ever we could get rid of these...

As I said earlier in the below thread.
http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-arm-kernel/2015-January/317705.html

Some DMA IP's have a specific features which is not supported by the DMA engine framework.
For those DMA IP's as suggested by Lars (http://www.spinics.net/lists/dmaengine/msg00010.html )
We are exporting that functionality and that functionality may needed by some other IP's that's why the header file should be in common location.

Please let me know if my explanation is not clear to you.

@Vinod: Thanks for the comment. Any functional comments for this patch?

Regards
Kedar.
