The ADC has a 64 word depth fifo length which holds the ADC data till the CPU reads. So when a user program needs a large ADC data to operate on, then it has to do multiple reads to get its buffer. Currently if the application asks for 4 samples per channel with all 8 channels are enabled, kernel can provide only 3 samples per channel when all 8 channels are enabled (logs at [1]). So with DMA support user can request for large number of samples at a time (logs at [1]).
Tested the patch on AM437x-gp-evm and AM335x Boneblack with the patch [2] to enable ADC and pushed a branch for testing [3]
Changes from v2: * Fixed an issue on handling of error return from dma_request_chan().
Changes from Initial version: * Changed DMA api from dma_request_slave_channel_compat() to dma_request_chan() * Changed variable names to have more clear information as per comments from Peter.
