Add support for Texas Instuments Communication Port Programming Interface 4.1 (CPPI 4.1) used on OMAP-L1x/DA8xx and AM35x.
At this moment, only the DMA controller and queue manager are supported. Support for the buffer manager is lacking but these chips don't have it anyway.

Russell, you have recently discarded this patch from your patch system. Can we know the reason?
It was recently discussed with TI, and various people raised concerns about it. I don't remember the exact details, and I wish they'd raise them with the patch author directly. It may have been that it's inventing its own API rather than using something like the DMA engine API.
Adding linux-omap to try to get a response there.
Sergei, This issue was discussed recently at TI and proposal was to place it to drivers/dma folder.
Note that I have neither time nor inclination to do this work (not do I think it's even feasible), so it will have to fall on TI's shoulders...
Moreover, even Felipe also seems to move other musb DMAs (Inventra, CPPI3.0, TUSB) to drivers/dma.
Frankly speaking, I doubt that drivers/dma/ will have place for the purely MUSB specific DMA engines such as the named ones (there's no TUSB DMA BTW -- it uses OMAP DMA).
Regards, Ajay
