[PATCH v2 2/4] Revert "dmaengine: imx-sdma: alloclate bd memory from dma pool"

From: Lucas Stach
Date: Fri Sep 14 2018 - 13:06:22 EST


This reverts commit fe5b85c656bc. The SDMA engine needs the descriptors to
be contiguous in memory. As the dma pool API is only able to provide a
single descriptor per alloc invocation there is no guarantee that multiple
descriptors satisfy this requirement. Also the code in question is broken
as it only allocates memory for a single descriptor, without looking at the
number of descriptors required for the transfer, leading to out-of-bounds
accesses when the descriptors are written.
