Indeed we can freely move the dmaengine_submit() method invocation and the
Tx and Rx busy flag setting into the DMA Tx/Rx prepare methods. Since the
Tx/Rx preparation method is now mainly used for the DMA transfers
submission, here we suggest to rename it to have the _submit_{r,t}x suffix
instead.
By having this alteration applied first we implement another code
preparation before adding the one-by-one DMA SG entries transmission,
second we now have the dma_async_tx_descriptor descriptor used locally
only in the new DMA transfers submission methods (this will be cleaned up
a bit later), third we make the generic transfer method more readable,
where now the functionality of submission, execution and wait procedures
is transparently split up instead of having a preparation, intermixed
submission/execution and wait procedures.

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.
