[PATCH 03/12] dmaengine: dw-edma: Add per-channel interrupt routing control

From: Koichiro Den

Date: Thu May 21 2026 - 02:32:41 EST


DesignWare endpoint eDMA can signal completion both locally and remotely
through LIE/RIE. A remotely controlled channel needs a per-channel
policy for whether completions are handled locally, remotely, or both.
Otherwise, the endpoint and host can race to acknowledge the interrupt.

Add dw_edma_peripheral_config, carried through dma_slave_config, to let
a frontend select the interrupt routing mode for each channel. Update
the v0 programming path so linked-list interrupt generation and
DONE/ABORT masking follow the selected mode. If a frontend does nothing,
the default keeps the existing behavior.

HDMA native already uses dma_slave_config.peripheral_config for non-LL
mode selection. Keep that ABI unchanged and do not interpret the new IRQ
routing config on HDMA native until that routing model has been
implemented and validated.
