[PATCH 6/7] dmaengine: ste_dma40: don't allow high priority dest event lines

From: Fabio Baltieri
Date: Wed Dec 12 2012 - 04:38:59 EST


From: Rabin Vincent <rabin.vincent@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Hardware bug: when a logical channel is triggerred by a high priority
destination event line, an extra packet transaction is generated in case
of important data write response latency on previous logical channel A
and if the source transfer of current logical channel B is already
completed and if no other channel with a higher priority than B is
waiting for execution.

Software workaround: do not set the high priority level for the
destination event lines that trigger logical channels.
