This is precisely why drivers should be using dma_set_mask() and the coherent version to provide the mask for which the driver knows about - iow, if the device itself is only capable of 32-bit DMA, then the device must use dma_set_mask(dev, DMA_BIT_MASK(32)). -- 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
