  * The subsystem keeps a global list of dma_device structs it is protected by a
  * mutex, dma_list_mutex.
  *
+ * A subsystem can get access to a channel by calling dmaengine_get() followed
+ * by dma_find_channel(), or if it has need for an exclusive channel it can call
+ * dma_request_channel().  Once a channel is allocated a reference is taken
+ * against its corresponding driver to disable removal.
+ *
  * Each device has a channels list, which runs unlocked but is never modified
  * once the device is registered, it's just setup by the driver.
  *
- * Each device has a kref, which is initialized to 1 when the device is
- * registered. A kref_get is done for each device registered.  When the
- * device is released, the corresponding kref_put is done in the release
- * method. Every time one of the device's channels is allocated to a client,
- * a kref_get occurs.  When the channel is freed, the corresponding kref_put
- * happens. The device's release function does a completion, so
- * unregister_device does a remove event, device_unregister, a kref_put
- * for the first reference, then waits on the completion for all other
- * references to finish.
- *
- * Each channel has an open-coded implementation of Rusty Russell's "bigref,"
- * with a kref and a per_cpu local_t.  A dma_chan_get is called when a client
- * signals that it wants to use a channel, and dma_chan_put is called when
- * a channel is removed or a client using it is unregistered.  A client can
- * take extra references per outstanding transaction, as is the case with
- * the NET DMA client.  The release function does a kref_put on the device.
