PATCH 1/1 Fix SH DMAC code to handle PVR2 cascade

Fix SH DMAC code to correctly handle PVR2 cascade DMA.

This updates http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/10/2/276

(I decided it was better to have the true size of the transfer put in via the API and refactor this here. And calc_xmit_shift(chan) should return 5 but only returns 3 so I've not used it here)

Fix SH DMAC code to correctly handle PVR2 cascade DMA.

(I decided it was better to have the true size of the transfer put in via the API and refactor this here. And calc_xmit_shift(chan) should return 5 but only returns 3 so I've not used it here)

It would be helpful to know why calc_xmit_shift() is broken here rather than just coding around it, as this will have implications for the other DMA channels on SH7091/SH7750.

Now that you've completely bypassed the rest of the SH-DMAC ->xfer_dma() op, it's clear that the existing infrastructure needs a bit of rework for dealing with the cascaded DMACs (especially for single-address mode only, unidirectionally). It would be nice to get the mach-specific kludges for cascade out of dma-sh entirely.

This can certainly be fixed for 2.6.24, though a larger overhaul is 2.6.25 material at this point.

ie ts_shift returns the number of bytes per transfer, but is then used as a bit shift:

56
57 return ts_shift[(chcr & CHCR_TS_MASK)>>CHCR_TS_SHIFT];
58 }

I'm not anywhere where I can fix this at the moment, but i am sure it could be patched quite trivally.

ie ts_shift returns the number of bytes per transfer, but is then used as a bit shift:

Er, no it doesn't, try again. ts_shift returns the transfer size _shift_. The comment refers to the DMA count, which is a different matter. Your 32-byte transfer where you want the >> 5 shift == ts_shift[XMIT_SZ_256BIT], and there's nothing wrong with that. So the issue becomes why you don't get a ts_shift[] offset of XMIT_SZ_256BIT for that channel, and that's the bug that has to be fixed.

So for PVR2 cascade, what does the CHCR value work out to? Both CHCR_TS_MASK and CHCR_TS_SHIFT haven't changed for SH7750, so this suggests that either the CHCR value is just wrong or we've had a long-standing bug with the CHCR.TS mask.

Either way, we are not going to hardcode a ts_shift value when the CHCR has all of the information encoded in it!

There *is* a long standing bug in CHCR_TS_MASK. It is meant to mask out all but bits 6:4 but in fact only masks bits 5 and 4. If it is set to 0x70 and not 0x30 this should work - though as usual I cannot make a patch to check this out at the moment.
