Subject: [PATCH v6 1/6] dmaengine: Add API function dmaengine_prep_slave_dma_vec()

This function can be used to initiate a scatter-gather DMA transfer,
where the address and size of each segment is located in one entry of
the dma_vec array.

The major difference with dmaengine_prep_slave_sg() is that it supports
specifying the lengths of each DMA transfer; as trying to override the
length of the transfer with dmaengine_prep_slave_sg() is a very tedious
process. The introduction of a new API function is also justified by the
fact that scatterlists are on their way out.

Note that dmaengine_prep_interleaved_dma() is not helpful either in that
case, as it assumes that the address of each segment will be higher than
the one of the previous segment, which we just cannot guarantee in case
of a scatter-gather transfer.

v3: New patch

v5: Replace with function dmaengine_prep_slave_dma_vec(), and struct
'dma_vec'.
Note that at some point we will need to support cyclic transfers
using dmaengine_prep_slave_dma_vec(). Maybe with a new "flags"
parameter to the function?

s/slave/peripheral

I had requested it a bit while ago as well

Ok, I think it'd be better that I add a new "flags" parameter now -
even if it means passing 0 until we actually have flags for it.

You did. Sorry, I forgot about it when working on the v6.
