[PATCH 7/9] dmaengine: dw-edma: eDMA: Add memory barrier before starting the DMA transfer in remote setup

From: Köry Maincent
Date: Fri Jun 09 2023 - 04:18:21 EST


From: Kory Maincent <kory.maincent@xxxxxxxxxxx>

The Linked list element and pointer are not stored in the same memory as
the eDMA controller register. If the doorbell register is toggled before
the full write of the linked list a race condition error can appears.
In remote setup we can only use a readl to the memory to assured the full
write has occurred.

Fixes: 7e4b8a4fbe2c ("dmaengine: Add Synopsys eDMA IP version 0 support")
