Below comments got from Page4724 of Reference Manual of i.mx6q: http://cache.freescale.com/files/32bit/doc/ref_manual/IMX6DQRM.pdf --"Static context mode should be used for the first channel called after reset to ensure that the all context RAM for that channel is initialized during the context SAVE phase when the channel is done or yields. Subsequent calls to the same channel or different channels may use any of the dynamic context modes. This will ensure that all context locations for the bootload channel are initialized, and prevent undefined values in context RAM from being loaded during the context restore if the channel is re-started later" Unfortunately, the rule was broken by commit(5b28aa319bba96987316425a1131813d87cbab35) .This patch just take them back.
