This patchset adds support for the Flexible Direct Memory Access (FDMA) core found on STi chipsets from STMicroelectronics. The FDMA is a slim core CPU with a dedicated firmware. It is a general purpose DMA controller supporting 16 independent channels and data can be moved from memory to memory or between memory and paced latency critical real time targets.[]quoted
?include/linux/remoteproc/st_slim_rproc.h??????????|??53 ++Is this directory really necessary?
Yes, I believe so.
Why shouldn't this file be local to drivers/remoteproc/?
Because it has to be included by the various client drivers which are based around the slim core IP. Currently drivers/dma/st_fdma.c but also in the future LDVB demux driver. regards, Peter.
