[PATCH 07/15] PCI: endpoint: Add EPC DMA channel delegation hooks

From: Koichiro Den

Date: Thu Mar 12 2026 - 12:58:04 EST


Add EPC ops and core wrappers to delegate and undelegate controller-owned
DMA channels.

The exported DMA helper needs more than a passive "delegated" bitmap:
it must be able to reserve channels away from local users, let the
backend perform controller-specific setup (e.g. prevent the EP from
racing to ack the completion interrupt for delegated channels), and
later hand the channels back as a matched lifetime operation.
