i.MX6DL SPI DMA

[persandberg]

Regarding the issue with SPI using DMA and the chip errata ERR009165.

How to enable SPI DMA using the workaround mentioned in the errata ERR009165.

In the code (spi-imx.c) it stats that it is not possible to use DMA with the i.MX6DL.

static int spi_imx_sdma_init(struct device *dev, struct spi_imx_data *spi_imx,                    struct spi_master *master){     int ret;      /* use pio mode for i.mx6dl chip TKT238285 */     if (of_machine_is_compatible("fsl,imx6dl"))          return 0;

If I apply the patch to the correct kernel, how to handle the code below (spi-imx.c)?

static int spi_imx_sdma_init(struct device *dev, struct spi_imx_data *spi_imx,                    struct spi_master *master){     int ret;      /* use pio mode for i.mx6dl chip TKT238285 */     if (of_machine_is_compatible("fsl,imx6dl"))          return 0;

did you see the patch 0001-MLK-10404-2-ARM-dts-imx6dl-support-ecspi-DMA-on-i.mx.patch? which Enable ecspi DMA support on i.mx6dl since there is official workaround for TKT238285.

Thanks Joan!

Do you know which kernel it is based on? I am using kernel 4.1.15 from NXP.

It seems that yours is based on a newer kernel than mine.
