SubjectRE: [PATCH 1/3] dmaengine: xilinx_dma: Check for channel idle state before submitting dma descriptor
Date
Hi Laurent Pinchart,

Thanks for the review...

Will fix it in v2...

If user submits more than h/w limit then that case only driver will process
The descriptors from the pending_list for other cases the pending_list will be
Empty so driver just returns from there.

Will remove the xilinx_dma_is_running and xilinx_dmais_idle() checks and will use
Chan->idle check across all the IP's. Will fix it v2...

Will fix in v2...
