ADMA mode [4] is now working even though > CONFIG_DMA_GLOBAL_POOL=y. + Christoph, Lad IMHO, this is not TH1520 specific but a generic issue. I believe commit 484861e09f3e ("soc: renesas: Kconfig: Select the required configs for RZ/Five SoC") can cause regression on all non-dma-coherent riscv platforms with generic defconfig. This is a common issue. The logic here is: generic riscv defconfig selects ARCH_R9A07G043 which selects DMA_GLOBAL_POOL, which assumes all non-dma-coherent riscv platforms have a dma global pool, this assumption seems not correct. And I believe DMA_GLOBAL_POOL should not be selected by ARCH_SOCFAMILIY, instead, only ARCH under some specific conditions can select it globaly, for example NOMMU ARM and so on. Since this is a regression, what's proper fix? any suggestion is appreciated.
