SubjectRE: [PATCH 5/5] Add DMA engine driver for Freescale MPC85xx processors.

Hi, Dan,

Does I have followed your new API? :-)

Ok.

The dma pool has already stored the descriptors in it's list,

Ok.

A good suggestion :), I need some investigation here.

It's speacial codes for our processors. Some device need the speacial DMA channel, such as must be DMA channel 0. So I add these codes. Or, is it possible to add a API for the special DMA channel getting?

The new API have lacking documents :) I'll make some study here.

Thanks!
