Up until now, the nightly test builds have included a load of test code for supporting DMA on OMAP serial - only the buggy transmit side which we've covered the reasons earlier why this can't work properly. We've also covered why the ripping out of the DMA code from the serial driver, and then subsequent "cleanup" of the driver has resulted in it being impossible to resurect receive DMA support without reverting all those cleanups. This patch set is yet again another nail in the coffin of any DMA support in the serial driver; it is removing the final bits of knowledge about how DMA support interacts with the idle support. Arguably, the previous cleanups already did that, but at least the hooks were still clearly visible as separate stand-alone entities and how only they were affected by DMA being enabled. Therefore, tonight I am dropping and discarding what I have left over from my work on getting DMA support working with the OMAP serial driver again from the nightly test builds and my git tree, and I intend no further involvement with this. -- 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
