Subject: [PATCH] tty: serial: imx: keep dma request disabled before dma transfer setup
Date: Thu, 12 Mar 2026 17:45:26 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260312094526.297348-1-sherry.sun@nxp.com> (raw)
From: Robin Gong <yibin.gong@nxp.com>
Since sdma hardware configure postpone to transfer phase, have to
disable dma request before dma transfer setup because there is a
hardware limitation on sdma event enable(ENBLn) as below.
Refer SDMA 2.6.28 Channel Enable RAM (SDMAARMx_CHNENBLn) section:
"It is thus essential for the Arm platform to program them before any
DMA request is triggered to the SDMA, otherwise an unpredictable
combination of channels may be started."
