Depends on which kernel you are talking about, but my understanding is that
it is *NOT* enabled in the mainline. There have been a few candidate patches
floated, but nothing accepted yet. You can google for it. There was an issue
that prevents you from using the DMA in both directions and thus there was a
desire to use the sDMA (system DMA) for transfers in one of the directions.
My impression might be quite wrong based on [1].

Here's the TI answer I got (yes, I work for TI, but I go through the typical
support channels to get answers for the BeagleBoard community):
You can refer to linux code for Mentor DMA implementation. For
document you should Contact local TI team and get it after signing NDA
needed for this document.
I see you got a bit of an answer from the TI e2e forums [1]. It would be
great if you could reply back here as well with whatever you learn.
The individual registers seem to be defined in [4] or [5]. I wanted to find
where the base was introduced to see if the whole driver was introduced
together, but it doesn't look like it to me [3].
When lost in the code, it is time to revert to the TRM [7]. In the L4-Core
Memory Space Mapping table, you can find the USB OTG controller base at
0x480AB000, but that doesn't match the 0x4805e300 found in [3], which is
just shown as RESERVED in the memory mapping table. :(

If it is a Linux driver, include linux-omap (added to the CC) to the
discussion. There are some USB experts there who might chime in if you are
working on advancing the state of the mainline driver to include DMA
support. If you have sufficient time to devote to improving the performance
of the driver for the community, I can be a contact to enable the NDA.
