[PATCH 2/3] DMA: PL330: Change allocation method to properly free DMA descriptors

From: Inderpal Singh
Date: Tue Sep 25 2012 - 04:57:53 EST


In probe, memory for multiple DMA descriptors were being allocated at once
and then it was being split and added into DMA pool one by one. The address
of this memory allocation is not being saved anywhere. To free this memory,
the address is required. Initially the first node of the pool will be
pointed by this address but as we use this pool the descs will shuffle and
hence we will lose the track of the address.

This patch does following:

1. Allocates DMA descs one by one and then adds them to pool so that all
descs can be fetched and memory freed one by one. This way runtime
added descs can also be freed.
2. Free DMA descs in case of error in probe and in module's remove function
