[PATCH v2 05/19] dmaengine: dw-edma: Add LL interrupt placement policy
From: Koichiro Den
Date: Thu Jul 23 2026 - 04:45:08 EST
Move linked-list interrupt placement behind a core callback so eDMA and
HDMA can use different policies.
Keep the eDMA behavior. For HDMA, place watermarks at descriptor ends,
before link entries, and every four entries when a descriptor exceeds the
usable ring capacity or another issued descriptor follows. A later patch
handles these watermarks as progress events.
Four entries is an empirically chosen coalescing interval.
Signed-off-by: Koichiro Den <den@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Changes in v2:
- Fix the zero-based interval so the first watermark is on the fourth
entry, not the fifth.
- Revise the commit message and source comments.
