As Joel pointed out, edma_read_position() uses memcpy_fromio() to read the parameter ram. That's not synchronized with the internal update as it does a byte by byte copy. We need to do a 32bit read to get a consistent value. Further reading destination and source is pointless. In DEV_TO_MEM transfers we are only interested in the destination, in MEM_TO_DEV we care about the source. In MEM_TO_MEM it really does not matter which one you read. Simple solution: Remove the pointers, select dest/source via a bool and return the read value. Remove the export of this function while at it. The only potential user is the dmaengine and that's always builtin.
