Hi Nicolae,

when the scatter-gather patch was introduced, the feature was enabled only on
tested boards to avoid regressions on other boards.
So SG is enabled on sama5d4x and sama5d2x SoCs. SG is disabled on purpose on
sama5d3x.

For Zynq, I think the feature is still disabled just because it has never been
tested.

Best regards,

Cyrille

Hi Nicolae,

when the scatter-gather patch was introduced, the feature was enabled o=
nly on
tested boards to avoid regressions on other boards.
So SG is enabled on sama5d4x and sama5d2x SoCs. SG is disabled on purpo=
se on
sama5d3x.

=46or Zynq, I think the feature is still disabled just because it has n=
ever been
tested.

Best regards,
