In this case, SPCI_DEBI_S will never go low. Yep, this might be a problem. But it is surprising that this issue was never detected before. If DEBI_S ever goes high, it will never be reset. Afaics there is no direct way to reset this bit. (A new debi command should reset it, though.) > Most of the debi requests are done with an spinlock held. None of the debiread/write accesses in budget-av uses locks, which is probably a bug. See the other thread. > Saa7146_wait_for_debi_done() polls for 250msec the PSR. Possible, this is the > reason for the high load. Usually, saa7146_wait_for_debi_done() can bail out earlier, > if SPCI_DEBI_E is set. Some debiread/write calls in budget-av use busy-waiting. For testing it might be worth to set the last parameter of the debiread/write calls to 1 (nobusyloop). > saa7146_wait_for_debi_done() is also used by the TT-FF cards.
