[PATCH] Revert "dmaengine: pl330: add DMA_PAUSE feature"

From: Frank Mori Hess
Date: Sat Apr 28 2018 - 17:51:13 EST


This reverts commit 88987d2c7534a0269f567fb101e6d71a08f0f01d.

The pl330.c pause implementation violates the dmaengine requirement
for no data loss, since it relies on the DMAKILL
instruction. However, DMAKILL discards in-flight data from the
dma controller's fifo. This is documented in the dma-330 manual
and I have observed it with hardware doing device-to-memory burst
transfers. The discarded data may or may not show up in the
residue count, depending on timing (resulting in data corruption
effectively).
