Yeah, I think we should just configure the slave id once and this would make the configuration simply. But by debugging, I find the dmaengine_slave_config() may be called more one times after requested by on user. So I put the slave id configuration in the channel request phase. And the effect is the same for exclusive channel. Thanks! Best Regards, Jingchang ��.n��������+%������w��{.n����z�{��ܨ}���Ơz�j:+v�����w����ޙ��&�)ߡ�a����z�ޗ���ݢj��w�f
