so the dma driver should only provide service and not do demuxing...

Okay I have skipped over the parser and other stuff and still looking for
the dmaengine APIs. 

This driver _doesn't_ do that, and am not sure why.

Anyway, if this driver doesnt need dmaengine APIs it doesnt belong in
drivers/dma/. Otherwise please port to dmanegine APIs, possibly use parser
as a client. You cna use virt-channels as well for managing the transfers.

So I am not considering this submission

Thanks
