The peripheral driver is expected to have mapped the scatterlist for
the DMA operation prior to calling device_prep_slave_sg, and must
keep the scatterlist mapped until the DMA operation has completed.
- The scatterlist must be mapped using the DMA struct device. So,
- normal setup should look like this:
+ The scatterlist must be mapped using the DMA struct device.
+ If a mapping needs to be synchronized later, dma_sync_*_for_*() must be
+ called using the DMA struct device, too.
+ So, normal setup should look like this:
nr_sg = dma_map_sg(chan->device->dev, sgl, sg_len);
if (nr_sg == 0)
