Hello!
I'm working on a iMX7d with kernel 4.1.15 from the freescale repo. But the same happened on an iMX6q with the same kernel.
I want to use SPI with activated SDMA.
It works fine with 64 bytes in one burst. When I increase to 128 bytes the transfer times out after 3s. And transfers after that block my device.
The timeout happens in drivers/spi/spi-imx.c in function spi_imx_dma_transfer. 3s is the default timeout.
I got lost in the interaction of spidev, spi, spi-imx and dmaengine and was hoping anybody had a similar experience and maybe a solution for it. Or an idea what to look at.
Thanks and best regards,
Sebastian
PS:
The spi is used by the spidev driver.

spi-tool is the spidev test tool included in the kernel sources.
