[PATCH] mtd: rawnand: denali: fix a race condition when DMA is kicked

From: Masahiro Yamada
Date: Thu Sep 13 2018 - 02:10:05 EST


I thought the read-back of the DMA_ENABLE register was unnecessary
(at least it is working on my boards), then deleted it in commit
586a2c52909d ("mtd: nand: denali: squash denali_enable_dma() helper
into caller"). Sorry, I was wrong - it caused a timing issue on
Cyclone5 SoCFPGAs.

Revive the register read-back, commenting why this is necessary.

Fixes: 586a2c52909d ("mtd: nand: denali: squash denali_enable_dma() helper into caller")
