From d4aa8cd70b3fd9fe9565feff5a4a746bf515d6d9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Daniel Thompson Date: Thu, 18 Nov 2021 10:09:52 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] Documentation: dmaengine: Correctly describe dmatest with channel unset commit c61d7b2ef141abf81140756b45860a2306f395a2 upstream. Currently the documentation states that channels must be configured before running the dmatest. This has not been true since commit 6b41030fdc79 ("dmaengine: dmatest: Restore default for channel"). Fix accordingly.
