[PATCH 0/2] dma: pl330: improve status checking

[Robert Baldyga]

Hi,

This series allows to check DMA transfer residue (number of bytes left
to send/receive) by modifying pl330_tx_status() function, when struct
dma_tx_state is filled with needed data. It also introduces DMA_PAUSE
feature, which allows to halt DMA transfer before termination and read
residue without risk of data loss.

This features are needed for proper implementation of DMA transfers,
particulary for serial drivers when transfer sizes are unknown and
requests on DMA channels are terminated before transfer completion
very ofter (it's becouse we terminate then in timeout interrupt to
avoid latency which is usually undesirable).

Best regards,
Robert Baldyga
