[PATCH] brcmfmac: properly align buffers on certain platforms with 64 bit DMA

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Systems with 64 bit DMA at least partially require buffers to be used
for DMA to be 8-byte-aligned. One example is Amlogic Meson GX.
Switching the MMC/SDIO driver for this platform to SG DMA mode
resulted in problems due to unaligned buffers.

Fortunately the brcmfmac driver has a global define for the alignment.
Changing it to 8 fixed the issues with Meson GX.
