My board has the same audio codec and DMA driver as the board used by Gabriel so there is high chance that his issue is also fixed. However it is sad that I did not receive any reviews or tests from anyone, apparently no one cares enough about it :) . Anyway the patch was also merged to Tizen kernel tree: https://review.tizen.org/git/?p=platform/kernel/linux-exynos.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/tizen https://review.tizen.org/git/?p=platform/kernel/linux-exynos.git;a=commit;h=41dec9884a82443da1b7814ae42efe65895ff3af Best regards, Krzysztof -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe dmaengine" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
