Documentation: dmaengine: fix the DMA_CTRL_ACK documentation
As discussed recently the meaning of DMA_CTRL_ACK is that a desc cannot be reused by provider until the client acknowledges receipt, i.e. has has a chance to establish any dependency chains. So update documentation Signed-off-by: Vinod Koul <vinod.koul@intel.com> Acked-by:Robert Jarzmik <robert.jarzmik@free.fr>

* DMA_CTRL_ACK
|
||||
- If set, the transfer can be reused after being completed.
|
||||
- There is a guarantee the transfer won't be freed until it is acked
|
||||
by async_tx_ack().
|
||||
- As a consequence, if a device driver wants to skip the dma_map_sg() and
|
||||
dma_unmap_sg() in between 2 transfers, because the DMA'd data wasn't used,
|
||||
it can resubmit the transfer right after its completion.
|
||||
- If clear, the descriptor cannot be reused by provider until the
|
||||
client acknowledges receipt, i.e. has has a chance to establish any
|
||||
dependency chains
|
||||
- This can be acked by invoking async_tx_ack()
|
||||
- If set, does not mean descriptor can be reused
