The driver was originally written with the assumption that a different API must be used for DMA-related functions if the device is PCIe based or if not. Since Xillybus' driver supports devices on a PCIe bus (with xillybus_pcie) as well as connected directly to the processor (with xillybus_of), it originally used wrapper functions that ensure that a different API is used for each. This patch eliminates the said wrapper functions, as all use the same dma_* API now. This is most notable by the code deleted in xillybus_pcie.c and xillybus_of.c. It also eliminates the OF driver's check for a "dma-coherent" attribute in the device's OF entry, since this is taken care of by the kernel's implementation of dma_sync_single_for_*(). There is however still need for one wrapper function, which is merged from xillybus_pcie.c and xillybus_of.c into xillybus_core.c: The call to dma_map_single() is wrapped by a function that uses the Managed Device (devres) framework, in the absence of a relevant function in the current kernel's API.

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.
