[PATCH 4.9 16/88] mtd: nand: brcmnand: Disable prefetch by default

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

 



4.9-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Kamal Dasu <kdasu.kdev@xxxxxxxxx>

commit f953f0f89663c39f08f4baaa8a4a881401b65654 upstream.

Brcm nand controller prefetch feature needs to be disabled
by default. Enabling affects performance on random reads as
well as dma reads.
