[U-Boot] [PATCH] i.MX28: Enable SD DMA only if DCache enabled

This SD DMA function of i.MX28 is still apparently too experimental to be enabled by default in 2012.04 release. Enable this feature only if the user plans to tinker with DCache or explicitly enables it.

Your patch makes sense, but I would prefer not to couple CONFIG_MXS_MMC_DMA with DCACHE support.
Someone may want to enable cache, but still uses MMC driver in PIO mode.
IMHO CONFIG_MXS_MMC_DMA could be defined in configs/board.h when needed.
Yesterday I was running MMC DMA without DCACHE support and it did work (after the mxs_dma_init changes).

You don't, it's slow as crap then.

I have some obscure card now and I'm seeing breakage (DMA transfer timeout).
btw. Fabio, can you ping me on jabber please?

Well, this is how we have been using the MMC driver for the last 4 months.
I like the fact that your patch let PIO and DMA mode co-exist in the driver and that they are selectable by the CONFIG_MXS_MMC_DMA option.
What I really don´t like is that by enabling CONFIG_SYS_DCACHE_OFF you force CONFIG_MXS_MMC_DMA.
These are separate things and one config option should not force the other.

With DCache disabled though ;-)

Yes, can you remind me on april 9th? I won't have access to that until then ;-)

Ok, I see. This patch reverts to the status before applying the DMA's patch. I would only ask if it makes sense to leave DMA support on MMC when we know that is buggy. Is it DMA support working for NAND ? If yes, it is not possible to enable DMA for NAND and disable it for MMC, as both driver use the same CONFIG_MXS_MMC_DMA.
Anyway, I am not saying we should introduce a new switch, but maybe we should drop DMA support in msx_mmc for this release avoiding confusion. The current status with DMA support can be re-enabled on a -next branch.
Any thoughts ?
Best regards, Stefano Babic

It's buggy on some cards, I suspect some timing issue.
Is it DMA support working for NAND ? If yes, it is not possible to enable DMA for NAND and disable it for MMC, as both driver use the same CONFIG_MXS_MMC_DMA.
What do you mean? DMA is used for NAND ever since, I just recently tried enabling it also for MMC.
Anyway, I am not saying we should introduce a new switch, but maybe we should drop DMA support in msx_mmc for this release avoiding confusion. The current status with DMA support can be re-enabled on a -next branch.
Maybe adding comment to that switch that it's experimental and that it should be off to avoid problems would be enough?
Any thoughts ?

Sorry, I have not read accurately - we have two different CONFIG_

Yes. We need to make clear that DMA on MMC is in a working status.
