[PATCH 04/15] dmaengine: dw-edma: Add per-channel interrupt routing control

From: Koichiro Den

Date: Thu Mar 12 2026 - 12:57:28 EST


DesignWare endpoint eDMA can signal completion both locally and
remotely through LIE/RIE. A remotely controlled channel needs a
per-channel policy for whether completions are handled locally,
remotely, or both; otherwise the endpoint and host can race to
acknowledge the interrupt.

Add dw_edma_peripheral_config, carried through dma_slave_config, to let
a frontend select the interrupt routing mode for each channel. Update
the v0 programming path so linked-list interrupt generation and
DONE/ABORT masking follow the selected mode. If a frontend does nothing,
the default keeps the existing behavior.

For now reject the new peripheral_config on HDMA, where the routing
model has not been implemented or validated yet, instead of silently
misprogramming interrupts.
