Please test the GPMI driver based this git tree.

I tested, and the DMA-timeout does not occur any more.

I notice that Shawn added two more patched to 
/arch/arm/config/mxs_defconfig:
[1] ARM: mxs_defconfig: Add mx23evk and mx28evk build
[2] ARM: mxs_defconfig: Change CONFIG_RTC_CLASS 'm' to 'y'

Please check it. Maybe your kernel code misses them.

Of course, you can use the my_config (i sent you last mail) for .config.

Best Regards
