Basically, u extract the shift using the mask value and ffs helping out, so
no need to define these and reduce chances of coding errors...
OK.
but I would prefer if you don't mind
hmmm, I don't have a very strong opinion, so okay. But from programming PoV
it reduces human errors..

I agree with your proposal :) I just said I prefer for the setter
#define STM32_MDMA_SET(n, mask)		(((n) << STM32_MDMA_SHIFT(mask)) & mask)
instead of
#define STM32_MDMA_SET(n, mask)		((n) << STM32_MDMA_SHIFT(mask))

please log the width here, helps in debug...
Hum.. just a dev_dbg to log the actual width or within the dev_err ?
latter pls
OK

is that a HW restriction? Once a txn is completed can't we submit
subsequent txn..? Can you explain this part please.
Driver can prepare any request Slave SG, Memcpy or Cyclic. But if the channel is
busy to complete a DMA transfer, the request will be put in pending list. This
is only when the DMA transfer is going to be completed the next descriptor is
going to be processed and started.
However for cyclic this is different since when cyclic is ignited the channel
will be busy until its termination. This is why we forbid any DMA preparation
for this channel.
Nonetheless I believe we have a flaw here since we have to forbid
Slave/Memcpy/Cyclic whether a cyclic request is on-going.
But you are not submitting a txn to HW. The prepare_xxx operation prepares a
descriptor which is pushed to pending queue on submit and further pushed to
hw on queue move or issue_pending()

So here we should ideally accept the request.

After you finish memcpy you can submit a memcpy right...?
Correct TXn is not submitted to HW only descriptors are prepared. They are going
to be pushed to HW on issue_pending if not channel not running. Otherwise the
next pending request is pushed to HW on DMA completion.
So yes I can queue a memcpy can be submitted during a memcpy (or Slave SG). The
mempy will be pushed to HW after the completion of the preceding.

The only drawback is cyclic. If a cyclic DMA operation is running, no other
requests (cyclic or SG or memcpy) can be granted or queued.

We dont have device_property_xxx for this?
Sorry no. Well didn't figure out one though.
we do :) the array property with NULL argument returns the size of array..

int device_property_read_u32_array(struct device *dev, const char *propname,
				   u32 *val, size_t nval)

Documentation says:
 Return: number of values if @val was %NULL,
Dho. ok :)

i know we have an device api for array reads :)
and I think that helps in former case..
Correct :) device_property_read_u32_array
yes..
