Commit 6084fc2ec478 ("dmaengine: altera: Use macros instead of structs to describe the registers") introduced a minus sign before a register offset. This leads to soft-locks of the DMA controller, since reading the last status byte is required to pop the response from the FIFO. Failing to do so will lead to a full FIFO, which means that the DMA controller will stop processing descriptors. Signed-off-by: Sylvain Lesne <lesne@xxxxxxxxxxx> --- According to the datasheet, I think we also could drop the "bytes transferred" read, since only the last byte of the status register has the side effect of emptying the FIFO. --- drivers/dma/altera-msgdma.c | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/drivers/dma/altera-msgdma.c b/drivers/dma/altera-msgdma.c index 32905d5606ac..35cbf2365f68 100644 --- a/drivers/dma/altera-msgdma.c +++ b/drivers/dma/altera-msgdma.c @@ -698,7 +698,7 @@ static void msgdma_tasklet(unsigned long data) * bits.
