-4. Submit the transaction and wait for callback notification
-To schedule the transaction to be scheduled by dma device, the "descriptor"
-returned in above (3) needs to be submitted.
-To tell the dma driver that a transaction is ready to be serviced, the
-descriptor->submit() callback needs to be invoked. This chains the descriptor to
-the pending queue.
-The transactions in the pending queue can be activated by calling the
-issue_pending API. If channel is idle then the first transaction in queue is
-started and subsequent ones queued up.
-On completion of the DMA operation the next in queue is submitted and a tasklet
-triggered. The tasklet would then call the client driver completion callback
-routine for notification, if set.
-Interface:
-void dma_async_issue_pending(struct dma_chan *chan);
-
-==============================================================================
-
-Additional usage notes for dma driver writers
-1/ Although DMA engine specifies that completion callback routines cannot submit
-any new operations, but typically for slave DMA subsequent transaction may not
-be available for submit prior to callback routine being called. This requirement
-is not a requirement for DMA-slave devices. But they should take care to drop
-the spin-lock they might be holding before calling the callback routine
+   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:
+
+        nr_sg = dma_map_sg(chan->device->dev, sgl, sg_len);
+        if (nr_sg == 0)
+                /* error */
+
+        desc = chan->device->device_prep_slave_sg(chan, sgl, nr_sg,
+                        direction, flags);
+
+   Once a descriptor has been obtained, the callback information can be
+   added and the descriptor must then be submitted.  Some DMA engine
+   drivers may hold a spinlock between a successful preparation and
+   submission so it is important that these two operations are closely
+   paired.
+
+   Note:
+        Although the async_tx API specifies that completion callback
+        routines cannot submit any new operations, this is not the
+        case for slave/cyclic DMA.
+
+        For slave DMA, the subsequent transaction may not be available
+        for submission prior to callback function being invoked, so
+        slave DMA callbacks are permitted to prepare and submit a new
+        transaction.
+
+        For cyclic DMA, a callback function may wish to terminate the
+        DMA via dmaengine_terminate_all().
+
+        Therefore, it is important that DMA engine drivers drop any
+        locks before calling the callback function which may cause a
+        deadlock.
+
+        Note that callbacks will always be invoked from the DMA
+        engines tasklet, never from interrupt context.
+
+4. Submit the transaction
+
+   Once the descriptor has been prepared and the callback information
+   added, it must be placed on the DMA engine drivers pending queue.
+
+   Interface:
+        dma_cookie_t dmaengine_submit(struct dma_async_tx_descriptor *desc)
+
+   This returns a cookie can be used to check the progress of DMA engine
+   activity via other DMA engine calls not covered in this document.
+
+   dmaengine_submit() will not start the DMA operation, it merely adds
+   it to the pending queue.  For this, see step 5, dma_async_issue_pending.
+
+5. Issue pending DMA requests and wait for callback notification
+
+   The transactions in the pending queue can be activated by calling the
+   issue_pending API. If channel is idle then the first transaction in
+   queue is started and subsequent ones queued up.
+
+   On completion of each DMA operation, the next in queue is started and
+   a tasklet triggered. The tasklet will then call the client driver
+   completion callback routine for notification, if set.
+
+   Interface:
+        void dma_async_issue_pending(struct dma_chan *chan);
+
+Further APIs:
+
+1. int dmaengine_terminate_all(struct dma_chan *chan)
+
+   This causes all activity for the DMA channel to be stopped, and may
+   discard data in the DMA FIFO which hasn't been fully transferred.
+   No callback functions will be called for any incomplete transfers.
+
+2. int dmaengine_pause(struct dma_chan *chan)
+
+   This pauses activity on the DMA channel without data loss.
+
+3. int dmaengine_resume(struct dma_chan *chan)
+
+   Resume a previously paused DMA channel.  It is invalid to resume a
+   channel which is not currently paused.
+
+4. enum dma_status dma_async_is_tx_complete(struct dma_chan *chan,
+        dma_cookie_t cookie, dma_cookie_t *last, dma_cookie_t *used)
+
+   This can be used to check the status of the channel.  Please see
+   the documentation in include/linux/dmaengine.h for a more complete
+   description of this API.
+
+   This can be used in conjunction with dma_async_is_complete() and
+   the cookie returned from 'descriptor->submit()' to check for
+   completion of a specific DMA transaction.
+
+   Note:
+        Not all DMA engine drivers can return reliable information for
+        a running DMA channel.  It is recommended that DMA engine users
+        pause or stop (via dmaengine_terminate_all) the channel before
+        using this API.
