To be clear, I was explaining what I percieved as a
question from Viresh about what the comment in this hunk of
the patch was about:

@@ -498,9 +498,9 @@ struct pl08x_lli_build_data {
};
 /*
- * Autoselect a master bus to use for the transfer this prefers the
- * destination bus if both available if fixed address on one bus the
- * other will be chosen
+ * Autoselect a master bus to use for the transfer
+ * - prefers the destination bus if both available
+ * - if fixed address on one bus the other will be chosen
 */
 static void pl08x_choose_master_bus(struct pl08x_lli_build_data *bd,
       struct pl08x_bus_data **mbus, struct pl08x_bus_data **sbus, u32 cctl)

This is the comment just above pl08x_choose_master_bus(),
the pl08x_lli_build_data() just has a danglig semicolon in the hunk.

As for the LLI code, all of it's weird complexity comes from the fact
that the DMAC cannot let a single element pass across 1KB (0x400)
boundaries, which is one more than a little insane hardware
restriction, and I have no clue where that limitation actually comes
from, likely strange VHDL code.

Then for this hunk:

@@ -626,11 +626,6 @@ static int pl08x_fill_llis_for_desc(struct
pl08x_driver_data *pl08x,
       /* We need to count this down to zero */
       bd.remainder = txd->len;

-       /*
-        * Choose bus to align to
-        * - prefers destination bus if both available
-        * - if fixed address on one bus chooses other
-        */
       pl08x_choose_master_bus(&bd, &mbus, &sbus, cctl);

This is I think just redundant commenting of what the called function does,
so yes should be deleted.

Thanks,
Linus Walleij
