Hello,
First of all, I'm using kernel 2.6.35 from the maintain branch of freescale.
I have a custom board based on IMX53 (industrial graded, 800Mhz). On this, I added an SPI nor flash (m25p32).
In the config I added all necessary drivers for it. It gets detected okay and I thought everything was ok. Until I wanted to use it.
Seems like everything coming from it is garbage (in linux).
I checked everything with a scope and seems like incoming and outgoing data is ok. (verifyed by writing something and reading it back). However, it gets lost somewhere else.
This is where I start digging into the code and stumbled upon a check "master_drv_data->usedma"; which checked if a IORESOURCE_DMA is defined. As it is, it continues assuming it has DMA.
To check if it had some influence, in arch/arm/mach_mx5/devices.c, I commented out everything of DMA in mxcspi1_resources and mxcspi1_device and recompiled, so that it wouldnt be used by mxc_spi.
Now it works flawlessly!
I'm a bit worried though. How does it come that it doesn't work with DMA? Do I have to configure something somewhere else? Do I need extra files/drivers?
Grtz,
Wouter
