[PATCH 06/10] MXS-DMA : add more flags for MXS-DMA

hi,
Err, the 'flags' argument to device_prep_slave_sg() is supposed to be
from the set of enum dma_ctrl_flags.  What this means is that your
MXS_DMA_F_APPEND is equivalent to DMA_PREP_INTERRUPT, and
MXS_DMA_F_WAIT4END is equivalent to DMA_CTRL_ACK.
thanks a lot.
I will reuse the dma_ctrl_flags in the next version.
What this does is make your drivers completely dependent on your DMA
engine implementation.  That's not a good idea when devices get
reused in different SoCs.
Frankly speaking, the APBH-DMA is more coupled with the GPMI  then any 
other modules.
In the MX6Q, the GPMI is the ONLY user of APBH-DMA.
You even can see the NAND_LOCK bit in the DMA command structure which is 
only used by the GPMI
NAND controller,.


To Shawn & Wolfram:
    thanks very much for your comments.

Best Regards
Huang Shijie
If you need to supply extra flags which aren't in the dma_ctrl_flags,
at least make sure that they're using different bits.  For bonus points,
also have your driver_check_  the DMA engine it's connected to before
it passes these flags.
