Starting with version 4.1.a the AXI-DMAC is capable of reporting the required length alignment. The LSBs that are required to be set for alignment will always read back as set from the transfer length register. It is not possible to clear them by writing a 0. This means the driver can discover the length alignment requirement by writing 0 to that register and reading back the value. Since the DMA will support length alignment requirements that are different from the address alignment requirement track both of them independently. For older versions of the peripheral assume that the length alignment requirement is equal to the address alignment requirement.

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.
