On the MPC8610, for example, SSI1 must use DMA channel 0 for +playback and DMA channel 1 for capture. SSI2 must use DMA channel 2 for +playback and DMA channel 3 for capture. The developer can choose which +DMA controller to use, but the channels themselves are hard-wired. The +purpose of these two properties is to represent this hardware design. + +The device tree nodes for the DMA channels that are referenced by +"fsl,playback-dma" and "fsl,capture-dma" must be marked as compatible with +"fsl,ssi-dma-channel". The SOC-specific compatible string (e.g. +"fsl,mpc8610-dma-channel") can remain. If these nodes are left as +"fsl,elo-dma-channel" or "fsl,eloplus-dma-channel", then the generic Elo DMA +drivers (fsldma) will attempt to use them, and it will conflict with the +sound drivers. |
