    Subject[PATCH 14/16] dmaengine: ste_dma40: add software lli support
    Date
    This patch add support to manage LLI by SW for select phy channels.

    There is a HW issue in certain controllers due to which on certain
    occassions HW LLI cannot be used on some physical channels. To avoid
    the HW issue on a specific phy channel, the phy channel number can be
    added to the list of soft_lli_channels and there after all the transfers
    on that channel will use software LLI, for peripheral to memory
    transfers.

    SoftLLI introduces relink overhead, that could impact performace for
    certain use cases.

    This is based on a previous patch of Narayanan Gopalakrishnan.
