Don't forget to release these new sg_tables after getting the descriptors
with dmaengine_prep_slave_sg().
**1. Set controller specific parameters**
First, use dmaengine_slave_config() with a struct dma_slave_config to
configure STM32 DMA channel. You just have to take care of DMA addresses,
the memory address (depending on the transfer direction) must point on your
SRAM buffer, and set (struct dma_slave_config).peripheral_size != 0.
STM32 DMA driver will check (struct dma_slave_config).peripheral_size to
determine if chaining is being used or not. If it is used, then STM32 DMA
driver fills (struct dma_slave_config).peripheral_config with an array of
three u32 : the first one containing STM32 DMAMUX channel ID, the second one
the channel interrupt flag clear register address, and the third one the
channel Transfer Complete flag mask.
Then, use dmaengine_slave_config with another struct dma_slave_config to
configure STM32 MDMA channel. Take care of DMA addresses, the device address
(depending on the transfer direction) must point on your SRAM buffer, and
the memory address must point to the buffer originally used for "classic"
DMA operation. Use the previous (struct dma_slave_config).peripheral_size
and .peripheral_config that have been updated by STM32 DMA driver, to set
(struct dma_slave_config).peripheral_size and .peripheral_config of the
struct dma_slave_config to configure STM32 MDMA channel.

Implementation Notes
- This generated page is the file-by-file coverage layer; curated subsystem chapters should link here when they synthesize a multi-file control flow.
- Core OS pages should be promoted from atlas-only to deep-reviewed when they explain data structures, invariants, locking, lifecycle, and C implementation snippets.
- Driver-family pages are intentionally pattern-oriented unless they are part of the selected PCIe/NVMe representative device path.
