We would like to build the driver switchtec-dma out of tree, for example current Ubuntu kernel or Debian kernel. As written in the README.md this
does not work as the driver accesses the private header drivers/dma/dmaengine.h in
|
#include "../drivers/dma/dmaengine.h" |
.
In this case we need to integrate the driver into the kernel source tree. What are the reason why this driver is not in the mainline kernel?
