Tony, Here is the first patch as promised. From: Santosh Shilimkar <santosh.shilimkar@xxxxxx> This patch set up a cmdline option for omap dma for masking the available channels. It is needed since the OMAP DMA is a system wide resource and can be used by another software apart from the kernel. To reserve the omap SDMA channels for kernel dma usage, use cmdline bootarg "omap_dma_reserve_ch=". The valid range is 1 to 32.
