Hello Takashi,

I am developing a DMA Controller driver to service the PCM out data to the Audio controller on the arm-based ATLASIII procesor. In case you need any more information on the architecture I can pass.

Since the DMA isn't on PCI bus I am pre-allocation continuous memero using the "snd_pcm_lib_preallocate_pages_for_all" passing SNDDRV_DMA_TYPE_DEV and "snd_dma_continuous_data" as appropriate parameters.

snd_dma_continuous_data() is only for SNDRV_DMA_TYPE_CONTINUOUS. In this case, the pages aren't for DMA.

For SNDRV_DMA_TYPE_DEV, simply pass the device pointer you use.
