Here is the user story that tells the need of the new api. The mxs-mmc is the mmc host controller for Freescale MXS architecture. There are a pair of mmc host specific parameters max_seg_size and max_segs that mxs-mmc host driver needs to tell mmc core, so that mmc core can know how big each data segment could be and how many segments could be handled one time in a scatter list by host driver. The mxs-mmc driver is one user of dmaengine mxs-dma, and it will call mxs-dma to transfer data in scatter list. That is to say mxs-mmc has no idea of what max_seg_size and max_segs should be, because they are all mxs-dma capability parameters, and mxs-mmc needs to query them from mxs-dma. Right now, there is well defined dma api (dma_get_max_seg_size) for mmc to query max_seg_size from dma driver, but the one for max_segs is missing. That's why mxs-mmc driver has to hard-code it. The mxs-mmc is just one example to demonstrate the need of the new api, and there are other mmc host drivers (mxcmmc on imx-dma is another example) and possibly even other dmaengine users need this new api to know the maximum segments that dma driver can handle per dma call.
