Subject: rockchip spi: dma engine use buggy
Date: Mon, 1 Dec 2014 13:26:22 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20141201132622.GE3836@n2100.arm.linux.org.uk> (raw)
While looking at a warning which came up in my nightly builds, I spotted
this:
+ rxconf.src_addr_width = rs->n_bytes;
+ rxconf.src_maxburst = rs->n_bytes;
+ txconf.dst_addr_width = rs->n_bytes;
+ txconf.dst_maxburst = rs->n_bytes;
which is incorrect. The documentation for the maxburst fields says:
* @src_maxburst: the maximum number of words (note: words, as in
* units of the src_addr_width member, not bytes) that can be sent
* in one burst to the device. Typically something like half the
* FIFO depth on I/O peripherals so you don't overflow it. This
* may or may not be applicable on memory sources.
* @dst_maxburst: same as src_maxburst but for destination target
* mutatis mutandis.
In other words, if n_bytes is:
- one, we tell the DMA engine that it can burst one byte.
- two, we tell the DMA engine that it can burst _two_ 16-bit words,
in other words, four bytes.
- four, we tell the DMA engine that it can burst _four_ 32-bit words,
in other words, 16 bytes.
Somehow, I don't think that's correct.
