[PATCH 2/2] dma: ipu_idmac: do not lose valid received data in the irq handler

[Anatolij Gustschin]

Currently when two or more buffers are queued by the camera driver
and so the double buffering is enabled in the idmac, we lose the
first frame comming from CSI since it is just dropped by the
interrupt handler. The reason for this dropping is that the interrupt
handler misleadingly assumes that the cur_buf flag is pointing to the
buffer used by the IDMAC. Actually it is not the case since the
CUR_BUF flag will be flipped by the FSU when the FSU is sending the
<TASK>_NEW_FRM_RDY signal when new frame data is delivered by the CSI.
When sending this singal, FSU updates the DMA_CUR_BUF and the
DMA_BUFx_RDY flags: the DMA_CUR_BUF is flipped, the DMA_BUFx_RDY
is cleared, indicating that the frame data is beeing written by
the IDMAC to the pointed buffer. DMA_BUFx_RDY is supposed to be
set to the ready state again by the MCU, when it has handled the
received data. DMA_BUFx_RDY won't be set by the IPU, so waiting
for this event in the interrupt handler is wrong. Actually there
is no spurious interrupt as described in the comments, this
is the valid DMAIC_7_EOF interrupt indicating reception of the
frame from CSI.

This has been verified on the hardware which is triggering the
image sensor by the programmable state machine, allowing to
obtain exact number of frames. On this hardware we do not tolerate
losing frames.

This patch also removes resetting the DMA_BUFx_RDY flags of
all channels in ipu_disable_channel() since transfers on other
DMA channels might be triggered by other running tasks and the
buffers should always be ready for data sending or reception.
