OMAP3: DMA: Errata i541: sDMA FIFO draining does not finish
Implement the suggested workaround for OMAP3 regarding to sDMA draining
issue, when the channel is disabled on the fly.
This errata affects the following configuration:
sDMA transfer is source synchronized
Buffering is enabled
SmartStandby is selected.
The issue can be easily reproduced by creating overrun situation while
recording audio.
Either introduce load to the CPU:
nice -19 arecord -D hw:0 -M -B 10000 -F 5000 -f dat > /dev/null & \
dd if=/dev/urandom of=/dev/null
or suspending the arecord, and resuming it:
arecord -D hw:0 -M -B 10000 -F 5000 -f dat > /dev/null
CTRL+Z; fg; CTRL+Z; fg; ...
In case of overrun audio stops DMA, and restarts it (without reseting
the sDMA channel). When we hit this errata in stop case (sDMA drain did
not complete), at the coming start the sDMA will not going to be
operational (it is still draining).
This leads to DMA stall condition.
On OMAP3 we can recover with sDMA channel reset, it has been observed
that by introducing unrelated sDMA activity might also help (reading
from MMC for example).
The same errata exists for OMAP2, where the suggestion is to disable the
buffering to avoid this type of error.
On OMAP3 the suggestion is to set sDMA to NoStandby before disabling
the channel, and wait for the drain to finish, than configure sDMA to
SmartStandby again.
