Fixes below build break by not switching to stubs when the driver is a module:
drivers/soc/ti/knav_dma.c:418:7: error: redefinition of 'knav_dma_open_channel'
void *knav_dma_open_channel(struct device *dev, const char *name,
^
In file included from drivers/soc/ti/knav_dma.c:26:0:
include/linux/soc/ti/knav_dma.h:165:21: note: previous definition of 'knav_dma_open_channel' was here
static inline void *knav_dma_open_channel(struct device *dev, const char *name,

The Keystone Navigator DMA driver sets up the dma channels and flows for
the QMSS(Queue Manager SubSystem) who triggers the actual data movements
across clients using destination queues. Every client modules like
NETCP(Network Coprocessor), SRIO(Serial Rapid IO) and CRYPTO
Engines has its own instance of packet dma hardware. QMSS has also
an internal packet DMA module which is used as an infrastructure
DMA with zero copy.
Initially this driver was proposed as DMA engine driver but since the
hardware is not typical DMA engine and hence doesn't comply with typical
DMA engine driver needs, that approach was naked. Link to that
discussion -

As aligned, now we pair the Navigator DMA with its companion Navigator
QMSS subsystem driver.

The QMSS (Queue Manager Sub System) found on Keystone SOCs is one of
the main hardware sub system which forms the backbone of the Keystone
Multi-core Navigator. QMSS consist of queue managers, packed-data structure
processors(PDSP), linking RAM, descriptor pools and infrastructure
Packet DMA.
The Queue Manager is a hardware module that is responsible for accelerating
management of the packet queues. Packets are queued/de-queued by writing or
reading descriptor address to a particular memory mapped location. The PDSPs
perform QMSS related functions like accumulation, QoS, or event management.
Linking RAM registers are used to link the descriptors which are stored in
descriptor RAM. Descriptor RAM is configurable as internal or external memory.
The QMSS driver manages the PDSP setups, linking RAM regions,
queue pool management (allocation, push, pop and notify) and descriptor
pool management. The specifics on the device tree bindings for
QMSS can be found in:
