Hi,

The following series with the final patch will add support for sDMA Linked List
transfer support.
Linked List is supported by sDMA in OMAP3630+ (OMAP4/5, dra7 family).
If the descriptor load feature is present we can create the descriptors for each
SG beforehand and let sDMA to walk them through.
This way the number of sDMA interrupts the kernel need to handle will drop
dramatically.

I suggested this a few years ago, and I was told by TI that there was
no interest to implement this feature as it had very little performance
effect.  Do I take it that TI have changed their position on this
feature?
