Hi,
When I developed this patch for the Vortex86dx. I recall trying many
combinations of udma and mwdma. At the time I developed it, I came
to the conclusion that both udma and mwdma both failed with CRC
errors being reported. I am not readily set-up to redo the testing to
see if mwdma is indeed also affected by the errata. It will be a couple
of weeks before I can re-test this patch on the hardware with mwdma
turned on.
Thanks,
Paul
