'cmd_pause' DMA channel capability means that respective DMA engine supports both pausing and resuming given DMA channel. However, in some cases it is important to know if DMA channel can be paused without the need to resume it. This is a typical requirement for proper residue reading on transfer timeout in UART drivers. There are also some DMA engines with limited hardware, which doesn't really support resuming. Reporting pause and resume capabilities separately allows UART drivers to properly check for the really required capabilities and operate in DMA mode also in systems with limited DMA hardware. On the other hand drivers, which rely on full channel suspend/resume support, should now check for both 'pause' and 'resume' features. Existing clients of dma_get_slave_caps() have been checked and the only driver which rely on proper channel resuming is soc-generic-dmaengine-pcm driver, which has been updated to check the newly added capability. Existing 'cmd_pause' now only indicates that DMA engine support pausing given DMA channel.

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.
