Hi,

Thanks Dinh & Alexander for the intergration testing.

@Dinh,

Can you test it again with the patch[0]?

Dinh, could you please tell what uart driver is used on SoCFPGA?

SoCFPGA is using the 8250_dw.c uart driver.

Could you make two test?

1) Checkout tree at commit 848e9776fee4 "dmaengine: pl330: support
burst mode for
dev-to-mem and mem-to-dev transmit", make it buildable and see is it
works. In order to make in buildable remove bursts argument from the
line:

if (*bursts == 1)
- return _bursts(pl330, dry_run, buf, pxs, 1);
+ return _bursts(dry_run, buf, pxs, 1);

This case still fails for me.

2) Checkout next-20160211 kernel tree and set src_maxburst and
dst_maxburst to 1 inside UART driver to see is it works?

This case works and the UART is able to operate in DMA mode.
