Shawn Guo 62550cd7c0 dmaengine: imx-sdma: use platform_device_id to identify sdma version
It might be not good to use software defined version to identify sdma
device type, when hardware does not define such version.  Instead,
soc name is stable enough to define the device type.

The patch uses platform_device_id rather than version number passed
by platform data to identify sdma device type/version.

Shawn Guo 2e534b21a5 dmaengine: imx-sdma: pass sdma firmware name via platform data
It is not good to have cpu_name and to_version encoded into sdma
firmware name as variables.  For example, there are three TOs of
imx51 soc, the sdma script never changes since TO1, which means
all three TOs of imx51 uses TO1 version of sdma script.  But we
have to prepare three identical firmwares, sdma-imx51-to1.bin
sdma-imx51-to2.bin and sdma-imx51-to3.bin, to have the kernel
capable of running on all three TOs.

The patch removes cpu_name and to_version from sdma platform data,
and instead uses fw_name to pass the firmware name, so that we can
pass the TO version where it's relevant and skip it where only one
firmware exists.

Sascha Hauer 5b28aa319b dmaengine i.MX SDMA: Allow to run without firmware
The SDMA firmware consists of a ROM part and a RAM part.
The ROM part is always present in the SDMA engine and
is sufficient for many cases.
This patch allows to pass in platform data containing
the script addresses in ROM, so loading a firmware is
optional now.

Sascha Hauer 1ec1e82f25 dmaengine: Add Freescale i.MX SDMA support
This patch adds support for the Freescale i.MX SDMA engine.

The SDMA engine is a scatter/gather DMA engine which is implemented
as a seperate coprocessor. SDMA needs its own firmware which is
requested using the standard request_firmware mechanism. The firmware
has different entry points for each peripheral type, so drivers
have to pass the peripheral type to the DMA engine which in turn
picks the correct firmware entry point from a table contained in
the firmware image itself.
The original Freescale code also supports support for transfering
data to the internal SRAM which needs different entry points to
the firmware. Support for this is currently not implemented. Also,
support for the ASRC (asymmetric sample rate converter) is skipped.

I took a very simple approach to implement dmaengine support. Only
a single descriptor is statically assigned to a each channel. This
means that transfers can't be queued up but only a single transfer
is in progress. This simplifies implementation a lot and is sufficient
for the usual device/memory transfers.
