[PATCH 5/7] dmaengine: xilinx_dma: Extend metadata handling for AXI MCDMA

From: Srinivas Neeli

Date: Thu Feb 12 2026 - 08:52:51 EST


From: Suraj Gupta <suraj.gupta2@xxxxxxx>

Extend probe logic to detect AXI Stream connections for MCDMA. When
an AXI Stream interface is present, metadata operations are enabled for
the MCDMA channel. The xilinx_dma_get_metadata_ptr() is enhanced to
retrieve metadata directly from MCDMA descriptors.
Add corresponding channel reference in struct xilinx_dma_tx_descriptor to
retrieve associated channel.
These changes ensure proper metadata handling and accurate transfer
size reporting for MCDMA transfers.
