From af6d17cdc8c89aeb3101f0d27cd32fc0592b40b2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tomoya MORINAGA Date: Thu, 12 Apr 2012 10:47:50 +0900 Subject: [PATCH] pch_uart: Fix dma channel unallocated issue This driver anticipates pch_uart_verify_port() is not called during installation. However, actually pch_uart_verify_port() is called during installation. As a result, memory access violation occurs like below. 0. initial value: use_dma=0 1. starup() - dma channel is not allocated because use_dma=0 2. pch_uart_verify_port() - Set use_dma=1 3. UART processing acts DMA mode because use_dma=1 - memory access violation occurs! This patch fixes the issue. Solution: Whenever pch_uart_verify_port() is called and then dma channel is not allocated, the channel should be allocated.
