The bam dmaengine has a circular FIFO to which we
add hw descriptors that describes the transaction.
The FIFO has space for about 4096 hw descriptors.

Currently we add one descriptor and wait for it to
complete with interrupt and then add the next pending
descriptor. In this way, the FIFO is underutilized
since only one descriptor is processed at a time, although
there is space in FIFO for the BAM to process more.

Instead keep adding descriptors to FIFO till its full,
that allows BAM to continue to work on the next descriptor
immediately after signalling completion interrupt for the
previous descriptor.

Also when the client has not set the DMA_PREP_INTERRUPT for
a descriptor, then do not configure BAM to trigger a interrupt
upon completion of that descriptor. This way we get a interrupt
only for the descriptor for which DMA_PREP_INTERRUPT was
requested and there signal completion of all the previous completed
descriptors. So we still do callbacks for all requested descriptors,
but just that the number of interrupts are reduced.

Thanks Sricharan for your patch to do the descriptor
clubbing in BAM DMA driver.

Verified this patch with my NAND QPIC patches
https://www.spinics.net/lists/kernel/msg2573736.html

I run the MTD test overnight and no failure
observed. Also, achieved significant improvement in
NAND speed. Following are the numbers for IPQ4019
DK04 board.

Test Speed in KiB/s

eraseblock write speed 4716 5483
eraseblock read speed 6855 8294

page read speed 6784 8217

Tested-by: Abhishek Sahu <absahu@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Also, I reviewed the patch and following are
minor comments.

should we free the list also since we are adding these descriptor
back to issued and vchan_dma_desc_free_list will free all theses
descriptors

When the IRQ will be triggered then it will traverse this list
and fetch the async descriptor for which already we freed the
memory.
