Hi, Thorsten here, the Linux kernel's regression tracker. Top-posting
for once, to make this easily accessible to everyone.
Vinod Koul, what's your option here? We have two reports about
regressions caused by 22a9d958581244 ("dmaengine: pl330: issue_pending
waits until WFP state") [v6.8-rc1] now:
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/1553a526-6f28-4a68-88a8-f35bd22d9894@xxxxxxxxxxx/
https://lore.kernel.org/all/ZYhQ2-OnjDgoqjvt@xxxxxxx/
[the first link points to the start of this thread]
To me it sounds like this is a change that better should be reverted,
but you are of course the better judge here.
Ciao, Thorsten (wearing his 'the Linux kernel's regression tracker' hat)
