[alsa-devel] [PATCH 5/5] ASoC: rsnd: dma: use extended audio dmac registers when available

[Kuninori Morimoto]

Hi Jiada

> Some of SoCs have both basic and extended dmac registers set
> basic set only supports busif0 ~ busif3, in order to use
> busif4 ~ busif7, extended audio dmac registers need to be used.
> 
> This patch changes to use extended dmac registers set when it is
> available in device-tree.

1st of all, if you want to post this kind of patch-set,
you *should* post driver side patch 1st, and if it was accepted,
you need to post SoC side patch. Then, you need to indicate
to SoC maintainer which branch/commit should be based.
Otherwise, it will 100% breaks git-bisect.

2nd, in my understanding, our conclusion at Renesas-ML
is that we don't need to think about basic/extend DMAC register.
Because extend area is 100% covering basic area.
In other words, it is compatible.
Driver side don't need to think about it.
