In order to use this dmaengine with sound devices, let's add cyclic transfers support. Most of the code is reused from the existing scatter-gather implementation, only the final linking between descriptors, the control fields (to trigger interrupts more often) and the interrupt handling are really different. This controller supports up to 32 adjacent descriptors, we assume this is way more than enough for the purpose of cyclic transfers and limit to 32 the number of cycled descriptors. This way, we simplify a lot the overall handling of the descriptors.

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.
