The BCM2835 DMA driver currently requests an interrupt from the controller regardless whether or not the client has passed in the DMA_PREP_INTERRUPT flag. This causes unnecessary overhead for cyclic transactions which do not need an interrupt after each period. We're about to add such a use case, namely cyclic clearing of the SPI controller's RX FIFO, so amend the DMA driver to request an interrupt only if DMA_PREP_INTERRUPT was passed in. Ignore the period_len for such transactions and set it to the buffer length to make the driver's calculations work.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
