[PATCH 4.18 41/88] mtd: rawnand: denali: fix a race condition when DMA is kicked

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Thu Sep 27 2018 - 05:12:42 EST


4.18-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Masahiro Yamada <yamada.masahiro@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit cf51e4b9c34407bf0c3d9b582b7837e047e1df47 upstream.

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.
