[PATCH 3.13 159/212] dma: mv_xor: Flush descriptors before activating a channel

From: Kamal Mostafa
Date: Tue Jun 17 2014 - 18:24:38 EST


3.13.11.4 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Ezequiel Garcia <ezequiel.garcia@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit 5a9a55bf9157d3490b0c8c4c81d4708602c26e07 upstream.

We need to use writel() instead of writel_relaxed() when starting
a channel, to ensure all the descriptors have been flushed before
the activation.

While at it, remove the unneeded read-modify-write and make the
code simpler.
