Subject: [PATCH v2] arm: davinci: fix edma dmaengine induced null pointer dereference on da830
Date: Tue,  5 Mar 2013 10:58:22 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1362499102-16468-1-git-send-email-mporter@ti.com> (raw)

This adds additional error checking to the private edma api implementation
to catch the case where the edma_alloc_slot() has an invalid controller
parameter. The edma dmaengine wrapper driver relies on this condition
being handled in order to avoid setting up a second edma dmaengine
instance on DA830.

Verfied using a DA850 with the second EDMA controller platform instance
removed to simulate a DA830 which only has a single EDMA controller.
