This might not be the > case here, though: you should be flooded with HS_VS interrupts. As far as I can tell, the driver doesn't use either interrupt (except to pass it up as an event). Hence I was trying to mask it purely to cut down on the interrupt load. > > The VD* counters are counting and interrupts are produced (AFAIR) even if > the CCDC is disabled.

Is there any software reason why it might think it hasn't received the whole frame? Obviously it could in theory be a hardware issue, but it's a bit odd that it can reliably do a certain number of frames before falling over. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-media" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
