Valid point. I would - for now - only do the DMAengine memcpy conversion with the GPIO irq and investigate the slave DMA support after that. > > ladis > -- > To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-omap" in > the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html > - Péter Texas Instruments Finland Oy, Porkkalankatu 22, 00180 Helsinki.
