[PATCH 0/8] ARM: shmobile: move DMAC configuration data in the driver

[Guennadi Liakhovetski]

Currently DMACs on sh-, r-mobile and r-car SoCs use platform data for 
their configuration. This doesn't work well with DT. Adding the complete 
DMAC configuration to DT wouldn't make sense either, because it would 
produce duplication, it would be difficult to define future-safe bindings, 
that wouldn't have to change with any future DMAC versions, and it is 
unneeded, because all that configuration is SoC-specific, not board- 
specific.

The best option is to move that configuration data to the driver, to be 
used, depending on the device ID. Then this data can be re-used in DT- 
and non-DT configurations.

This patch set extends the driver, adds example configuration data sets 
for 2 SoCs. One of those SoCs already had DMAC support, so, it is switched 
over. The other SoC didn't include support for DMAC yet, it is added in 
this series too. Patches 1-3 are common for DT- and non-DT cases, patches 
4 and 5 handle the "traditional" non-DT case, and patches 6-8 deal with DT.

The DMA part applies on top of my earlier shdma patch "DMA: shdma: support 
the new CHCLR register layout" and other patches, already in -next. The 
ARM part applies on top of today's renesas.git devel branch.
