The mv_xor_v2_tx_submit() gets the next available HW descriptor by
calling mv_xor_v2_get_desq_write_ptr(), which reads a HW register
telling the next available HW descriptor. This was working fine when HW
descriptors were issued for processing directly in tx_submit().
However, as part of the review process of the driver, a change was
requested to move the actual kick-off of HW descriptors processing to
->issue_pending(). Due to this, reading the HW register to know the next
available HW descriptor no longer works.
So instead of using this HW register, we implemented a software index
pointing to the next available HW descriptor.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
