The slots are searched in order for - the presence of a DMA channel number with DMA_CH_VALID - or-ed in. - - If the order has the flag DMA_CH_NEVER set, then after - checking the channel list, the system will return no - found channel, thus denying the request. - - A board support file can call s3c24xx_dma_order_set() - to register a complete ordering set.
