The patch was more for Peter to take a peek at - there's definitely some bits missing in the dmaengine driver (like the write to the LCH_CTRL register) that would need to be fixed somehow. However, it's worth noting that there is exactly one user of omap_set_dma_channel_mode(), which is omap-udc, which means any DMA channel made use of by omap-udc will have the LCH_CTRL register modified to LCH_P, and it will remain that way even if someone else subsequently makes use of the same channel. That's rather suspicious to me... maybe we can just initialise all LCH_CTRL registers to LCH_P in the dmaengine driver in that case! If not, then there's a bug right there. -- RMK's Patch system: http://www.armlinux.org.uk/developer/patches/ FTTC broadband for 0.8mile line in suburbia: sync at 12.1Mbps down 622kbps up According to speedtest.net: 11.9Mbps down 500kbps up
