Hi,

I try to understand the purpose of the PRE sync (BUS_DMASYNC_PREREAD, 
BUS_DMASYNC_PREWRITE).

I understand POST synchronization (BUS_DMASYNC_POSTREAD, 
BUS_DMASYNC_POSTWRITE)  when a device to memory or a memory to device 
transfert needs to be synchronized. However, what does a synchronization 
before a transfert mean ?

Regards,
  Vincent
