I structured the driver in this way to allow us to move the physical DMA channel allocation to that tasklet when that becomes a problem. Not only that but I was hoping to lift some more of this code out of DMA engine drivers, so DMA engine drivers had even less code in them. I guess we could keep the tasklet, but mark the audio DMA channels as "pre-reserved" and arrange for pre-reserved channels to avoid the tasklet, rather than throwing the tasklet out completely. -- 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
