[PATCH] touchscreen: edt-ft5x06: Prevent DMA driver from mapping an area on stack
From: Sanchayan Maity
Date: Sat Dec 12 2015 - 05:14:30 EST
This patch removes the use of i2c_msg locally inside the function.
Without this, having i2c_msg locally allocated on stack, being used
by i2c_transfer on a platform where the I2C driver uses DMA, results
in the debug stack trace being reported during kernel boot in case
CONFIG_DMA_API_DEBUG is selected. (See a little below).
This was observed while using a touchscreen with this controller on
Freescale Vybrid on Colibri Vybrid VF61 module. Vybrid uses the i2c-
imx driver which leverages DMA during I2C transfers.

Hello,
Frankly speaking I do not know where the fix should actually be. I2C IMX
driver somehow taking care of this or the users of I2C, touchscreen drivers
in this case. In my opinion, the fix should be with the touchscreen driver
however I did like to have feedback or hear opinions on what is the accepted
solution to this.
I guess no one ever had the DMA Debug option enabled while using an I2C driver
that used DMA so somehow this never came up? I only noticed this since we had
a customer requesting for information on this driver and then while checking
as I had the DMA debug option enabled from my work on a separate driver, this
popped up. My colleague pointed me to [1] but anyways I am not sure and thought
I did report this.

Regards,
Sanchayan.
