The system survives this.  I'm not sure if it's just because of
different usages of the system, or if because there is still an issue
with TX/RX DMA at the same time despite the advisory for the hardware
still being followed.


I was wrong about the MUSB code implementing the advisory correctly. I misread the advisory as saying 32-bit aligned when in fact it says 32-byte aligned. The additional constraints for the DMA advisory on the DM37x states that for Tx DMA packets, the data should be 32-byte aligned (Rx can go to any alignment still). It also has payload size constraints for both Rx and Tx which aren't checked in the existing MUSB driver.

Doing some testing, the USB networking stack isn't sending 32-byte aligned buffers so I can't double check to see if this completely fixes it or if it's just masking it by adding some additional checks. For our system, we're going to leave the Tx DMAs completely disabled.

At some point a patch should be developed which follows Advisory 1.81 for the DM3730 part.
