dmaengine: remove arch dependency from DMADEVICES
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
The dependency is redundant since all drivers set their specific arch
dependencies.  The NET_DMA option is modified to be enabled only on platforms
where it is known to have a positive effect.  HAS_DMA is added as an explicit
dependency for the DMADEVICES menu.

DMA engines can do asynchronous data transfers without
involving the host CPU. Currently, this framework can be
used to offload memory copies in the network stack and
RAID operations in the MD driver.

This enables the use of DMA engines in the network stack to
offload receive copy-to-user operations, freeing CPU cycles.
Since this is the main user of the DMA engine, it should be enabled;
say Y here.

Say Y here if you enabled INTEL_IOATDMA or FSL_DMA, otherwise
say N.
