- * Definitions for the Freescale DMA controller's DMA_SLAVE implemention
+ * The Freescale DMA controller has several features that are not accomodated
+ * in the Linux DMAEngine API. Therefore, the generic structure is expanded
+ * to allow drivers to use these features.
  *
- * The Freescale DMA_SLAVE implementation was designed to handle many-to-many
- * transfers. An example usage would be an accelerated copy between two
- * scatterlists. Another example use would be an accelerated copy from
- * multiple non-contiguous device buffers into a single scatterlist.
+ * This structure should be passed into the DMAEngine routine device_control()
+ * as in this example:
  *
- * A DMA_SLAVE transaction is defined by a struct fsl_dma_slave. This
- * structure contains a list of hardware addresses that should be copied
- * to/from the scatterlist passed into device_prep_slave_sg(). The structure
- * also has some fields to enable hardware-specific features.
