The legacy S3C-DMA API required every period of a cyclic buffer to be
queued separately. After conversion of Samsung ASoC to Samsung DMA
wrappers somebody made an assumption that the same is needed for DMA
engine API, which is not true.

In effect, Samsung ASoC DMA code was queuing the whole cyclic buffer
multiple times with a shift of one period per iteration, leading to:
  a) severe memory waste - up to 13x times more DMA transfer descriptors
     are allocated than needed,
  b) possible memory corruption, because further cyclic buffers were out
     of the original buffers, due to the offset.

This patch fixes this problem by making the legacy S3C-DMA API use the
same semantics as DMA engine (the whole cyclic buffer is enqueued at
once) and modifying users of Samsung DMA wrappers in cyclic mode to
behave appropriately.

If patch 1 thru 9 are uncontroversial now, maybe Vinod can apply
these for v3.12 so we can get less noise and risk of collissions
in the next merge window?

Just an idea.

Yours,

That would be nice, leaving only Samsung-specific patches for the next 
merge window.

(That would be patches 1 to 8, though, as 9 is a patch for ASoC that could 
be picked up by Mark Brown independently.)

Best regards,
Tomasz

Patch 9 I was going to apply to ASoC towards the end of the release
cycle - it shouldn't depend on the earlier ones as ASoC isn't using
dmaengine yet.  Holding off partly to run testing and partly in case
this ends up getting applied.

Applied, thanks.

OK Vinod can you take in patch 1 thru 8?
