1* Synopsys Designware DMA Controller
2
3Required properties:
4- compatible: "snps,dma-spear1340"
5- reg: Address range of the DMAC registers
6- interrupt: Should contain the DMAC interrupt number
7- dma-channels: Number of channels supported by hardware
8- dma-requests: Number of DMA request lines supported, up to 16
9- dma-masters: Number of AHB masters supported by the controller
10- #dma-cells: must be <3>
11- chan_allocation_order: order of allocation of channel, 0 (default): ascending,
12 1: descending
13- chan_priority: priority of channels. 0 (default): increase from chan 0->n, 1:
14 increase from chan n->0
15- block_size: Maximum block size supported by the controller
16- data-width: Maximum data width supported by hardware per AHB master
17 (in bytes, power of 2)
18
19
20Deprecated properties:
21- data_width: Maximum data width supported by hardware per AHB master
22 (0 - 8bits, 1 - 16bits, ..., 5 - 256bits)
23
24
25Optional properties:
26- interrupt-parent: Should be the phandle for the interrupt controller
27 that services interrupts for this device
28- is_private: The device channels should be marked as private and not for by the
29 general purpose DMA channel allocator. False if not passed.
30- multi-block: Multi block transfers supported by hardware. Array property with
31 one cell per channel. 0: not supported, 1 (default): supported.
32
33Example:
34
35 dmahost: dma@fc000000 {
36 compatible = "snps,dma-spear1340";
37 reg = <0xfc000000 0x1000>;
38 interrupt-parent = <&vic1>;
39 interrupts = <12>;
40
41 dma-channels = <8>;
42 dma-requests = <16>;
43 dma-masters = <2>;
44 #dma-cells = <3>;
45 chan_allocation_order = <1>;
46 chan_priority = <1>;
47 block_size = <0xfff>;
48 data-width = <8 8>;
49 };

51DMA clients connected to the Designware DMA controller must use the format
52described in the dma.txt file, using a four-cell specifier for each channel.
53The four cells in order are:
54
551. A phandle pointing to the DMA controller
562. The DMA request line number
573. Memory master for transfers on allocated channel
584. Peripheral master for transfers on allocated channel
59
60Example:
61
62 serial@e0000000 {
63 compatible = "arm,pl011", "arm,primecell";
64 reg = <0xe0000000 0x1000>;
65 interrupts = <0 35 0x4>;
66 dmas = <&dmahost 12 0 1>,
67 <&dmahost 13 1 0>;
68 dma-names = "rx", "rx";
69 };
