INVENTRA_DMA, TI_CPPI_DMA or others?

Inventra DMA. An updated version compared to the OMAP34xx/35xx.

- No major change to the programming model
- The simultaneous TX-RX DMA hang bug is gone with this one.

I find one issue about the dma transfer if Inventra DMA is used, seems
always 2 bytes less than required length, is it caused by unaligned
destination address?

See the log captured in g_ether context:


Ouch, yes. I'd forgotten about this one. I think I did post out patches for this. But I've moved to other activities and didn't follow up. I'll dig them up and post in a bit.

The issue is that, by design, the last 2 bits of DMA_ADDR are masked by the DMA engine; so we need DMA_ADDR to be aligned to a 32-bit boundary.

In gadget mode, g_ether is one driver that's badly affected - there were some patches posted which improved g_ether somewhat. In host mode, USB-networking cases were most affected. MUSB has two options:

- dma_channel_program can reject transfers to unaligned DMA addresses, so that the backup PIO mode can take over (a quick fix - I'll post this one again)

- MUSB can bounce the transfer buffer to another buffer which is properly aligned

Any other ideas?
