QVGA at 25 / 50 / 60 fps is _certainly_ very much a real-life scenario.

I am interested in avoiding regressions. In principle, this is a DMA 
driver, which I am not maintaining. Dan asked for my ack, so, I tested it 
and found an issue, which I would prefer to have resolved before 
committing. Of course, I don't have a decisive voice in this matter, so, 
the patch can also be merged without my ack. Otherwise - of course you 
don't have to continue testing, I will try to look at the issue as the 
time permits, and Dan will have to decide, whether he is prepared to 
commit this patch in its present form, or he would prefer this issue to be 
clarified.

Thanks
