1 * BCM2835 DMA controller
2
3 The BCM2835 DMA controller has 16 channels in total.
4 Only the lower 13 channels have an associated IRQ.
5 Some arbitrary channels are used by the firmware
6 (1,3,6,7 in the current firmware version).
7 The channels 0,2 and 3 have special functionality
8 and should not be used by the driver.
9
10 Required properties:
11 - compatible: Should be "brcm,bcm2835-dma".
12 - reg: Should contain DMA registers location and length.
13 - interrupts: Should contain the DMA interrupts associated
14 to the DMA channels in ascending order.
15 - interrupt-names: Should contain the names of the interrupt
16 in the form "dmaXX".
17 Use "dma-shared-all" for the common interrupt line
18 that is shared by all dma channels.
19 - #dma-cells: Must be <1>, the cell in the dmas property of the
20 client device represents the DREQ number.
21 - brcm,dma-channel-mask: Bit mask representing the channels
22 not used by the firmware in ascending order,
23 i.e. first channel corresponds to LSB.

25 Example:
26
27 dma: dma@7e007000 {
28 compatible = "brcm,bcm2835-dma";
29 reg = <0x7e007000 0xf00>;
30 interrupts = <1 16>,
31 <1 17>,
32 <1 18>,
33 <1 19>,
34 <1 20>,
35 <1 21>,
36 <1 22>,
37 <1 23>,
38 <1 24>,
39 <1 25>,
40 <1 26>,
41 /* dma channel 11-14 share one irq */
42 <1 27>,
43 <1 27>,
44 <1 27>,
45 <1 27>,
46 /* unused shared irq for all channels */
47 <1 28>;
48 interrupt-names = "dma0",
49 "dma1",
50 "dma2",
51 "dma3",
52 "dma4",
53 "dma5",
54 "dma6",

59 "dma11",
60 "dma12",

63 "dma-shared-all";
64
65 #dma-cells = <1>;
66 brcm,dma-channel-mask = <0x7f35>;
67 };
68
69
70 DMA clients connected to the BCM2835 DMA controller must use the format
71 described in the dma.txt file, using a two-cell specifier for each channel.
72
73 Example:
74
75 bcm2835_i2s: i2s@7e203000 {
76 compatible = "brcm,bcm2835-i2s";
77 reg = < 0x7e203000 0x20>,
78 < 0x7e101098 0x02>;
79
80 dmas = <&dma 2>,
81 <&dma 3>;
82 dma-names = "tx", "rx";
83 };
