[PATCH] iio: adc: at91-sama5d2_adc: fix DMA conversion crash

From: Eugen Hristev
Date: Wed Sep 16 2020 - 03:08:47 EST


After the move of the postenable code to preenable, the DMA start was
done before the DMA init, which is not correct.
The DMA is initialized in set_watermark. Because of this, we need to call
the DMA start functions in set_watermark, after the DMA init, instead of
preenable hook, when the DMA is not properly setup yet.

Fixes: f3c034f61775 ("iio: at91-sama5d2_adc: adjust iio_triggered_buffer_{predisable,postenable} positions")

Hi,

This crash is in the kernel since 5.8-rc1

Please have a look at discussion here:
