+AD4- +AD4- This happens because in old driver version there are three sources+AKA-
+AD4- +AD4- of parameters: pdata, device tree and autoconfig hardware registers.+AKA-
+AD4- +AD4- Some parameters were read from pdata and others from autoconfig
+AD4- +AD4- hardware registers. If pdata was absent some pdata structure+AKA-
+AD4- +AD4- fields were filled with parameters from device tree. But 30cb2639
+AD4- +AD4- commit disabled overriding pdata with autocfg, so if we use platform
+AD4- +AD4- driver version without pdata some parameters will not be set.

+AD4- Yes, that's correct behaviour right now. You have to provide platform
+AD4- code which registers device with all platform data provided.

But given autocfg registers exist in HW why don't we rely on their contents?

+AD4- +AD4- I'm wondering what would be the best way to fix this situation?

+AD4- Ideally we have to switch to use built-in device properties
+AD4- (drivers/base/property.c) and platform code in your case has to provide
+AD4- properties.

What do you mean saying +ACI-built-in device properties+ACI-?
Setting pdata structure? In our particular case we use device tree
for DW DMAC setup.
