cyclic DMA is only used by audio which needs DMA to be started without a delay. If the DMA for audio is started using the tasklet we experience random channel switch (to be more precise: channel shift). Reported-by: Peter Meerwald <pmeerw@xxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Peter Ujfalusi <peter.ujfalusi@xxxxxx> --- Hi Russell, Instead of removing the tasklet we can identify the DMA channel used by audio based on the cyclic flag of the channel. I think this can be used as a short term solution to fix the audio channel shift issue and later when we have the dynamic DMA channel allocation we can adjust the code.
