This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled Revert "serial: imx: initialized DMA w/o HW flow enabled" to my tty git tree which can be found at git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/tty.git in the tty-linus branch. The patch will show up in the next release of the linux-next tree (usually sometime within the next 24 hours during the week.) The patch will hopefully also be merged in Linus's tree for the next -rc kernel release. If you have any questions about this process, please let me know. >From 907eda32a36fcdb979bdb91ea097abb3dd2c23c9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: David Jander <david@xxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Fri, 26 Jun 2015 08:11:30 +0200 Subject: Revert "serial: imx: initialized DMA w/o HW flow enabled" This reverts commit 068500e08dc87ea9a453cc4a500cf3ab28d0f936. According to some tests, SDMA support is broken at least for i.MX6 without HW flow control. Different forms of data-corruption appear either with the ROM firmware for the SDMA controller as well as when loading Freescale provided SDMA firmware versions 1.1 or 3.1.
