Fix the potential risk when enable config NET_DMA and ASYNC_TX. Async_tx is
lack of support in current release process of dma descriptor, all descriptors
will be released whatever is acked or no-acked by async_tx, so there is a
potential race condition when dma engine is uesd by others clients (e.g. when
enable NET_DMA to offload TCP).
In our case, a race condition which is raised when use both of talitos and
dmaengine to offload xor is because napi scheduler will sync all pending
requests in dma channels, it affects the process of raid operations due to
ack_tx is not checked in fsl dma. The no-acked descriptor is freed which is
submitted just now, as a dependent tx, this freed descriptor trigger
BUG_ON(async_tx_test_ack(depend_tx)) in async_tx_submit().

Another modification in this patch is the change of completed descriptors,
there is a potential risk which caused by exception interrupt, all descriptors
in ld_running list are seemed completed when an interrupt raised, it works fine
under normal condition, but if there is an exception occured, it cannot work as
our excepted. Hardware should not be depend on s/w list, the right way is to
read current descriptor address register to find the last completed descriptor.
If an interrupt is raised by an error, all descriptors in ld_running should not
be seemed finished, or these unfinished descriptors in ld_running will be
released wrongly.
A simple way to reproduce:
Enable dmatest first, then insert some bad descriptors which can trigger
Programming Error interrupts before the good descriptors. Last, the good
descriptors will be freed before they are processsed because of the exception
intrerrupt.
Note: the bad descriptors are only for simulating an exception interrupt. This
case can illustrate the potential risk in current fsl-dma very well.

Freescale DMA has a feature of BandWidth Control (ab. BWC), which is currently
256 bytes and should be changed to 1024 bytes for best DMA throughput.
Changing BWC from 256 to 1024 will improve DMA performance much, in cases
whatever one channel is running or multi channels are running simultanously,
large or small buffers are copied. And this change doesn't impact memory
access performance remarkably, lmbench tests show that for some cases the
memory performance are decreased very slightly, while the others are even
better.
Tested on T4240.

Enabling poisoning in the dmapool API quickly showed that the DMA
controller was fetching descriptors that should not have been in use.
This has caused intermittent controller lockups during testing.
I have been unable to figure out the exact set of conditions which cause
this to happen. However, I believe it is related to the driver using the
hardware registers to track whether the controller is busy or not. The
code can incorrectly decide that the hardware is idle due to lag between
register writes and the hardware actually becoming busy.
To fix this, the driver has been reworked to explicitly track the state
of the hardware, rather than try to guess what it is doing based on the
register values.
This has passed dmatest with 10 threads per channel, 100000 iterations
per thread several times without error. Previously, this would fail
within a few seconds.

Fix locking. Use two queues in the driver, one for pending transacions, and
one for transactions which are actually running on the hardware. Call
dma_run_dependencies() on descriptor cleanup so that the async_tx API works
correctly.
There are a number of places throughout the code where lists of descriptors
are freed in a loop. Create functions to handle this, and use them instead
of open-coding the loop each time.

When using the Freescale DMA controller in external control mode, both the
request count and external pause bits need to be setup correctly. This was
being done with the same function.
The 83xx controller lacks the external pause feature, but has a similar
feature called external start. This feature requires that the request count
bits be setup correctly.
Split the function into two parts, to make it possible to use the external
start feature on the 83xx controller.

By default, the Freescale 83xx DMA controller uses the PCI Read Line
command when reading data over the PCI bus. Setting the controller to use
the PCI Read Multiple command instead allows the controller to read much
larger bursts of data, which provides a drastic speed increase.
The slowdown due to using PCI Read Line was only observed when a PCI-to-PCI
bridge was between the devices trying to communicate.
A simple test driver showed an increase from 4MB/sec to 116MB/sec when
performing DMA over the PCI bus. Using DMA to transfer between blocks of
local SDRAM showed no change in performance with this patch. The dmatest
driver was also used to verify the correctness of the transfers, and showed
no errors.

Modify the Freescale Elo / Elo Plus DMA driver so that it can be compiled as
a module.
The primary change is to stop treating the DMA controller as a bus, and the
DMA channels as devices on the bus. This is because the Open Firmware (OF)
kernel code does not allow busses to be removed, so although we can call
of_platform_bus_probe() to probe the DMA channels, there is no
of_platform_bus_remove(). Instead, the DMA channels are manually probed,
similar to what fsl_elbc_nand.c does.

The DMA_INTERRUPT async_tx is a NULL transfer, thus the BCR(count register)
is 0. When the transfer started with a byte count of zero, the DMA
controller will triger a PE(programming error) event and halt, not a normal

async_tx testing.
