Hi,

Thanks for your test.

Please test the driver on :
   git://git.linaro.org/people/shawnguo/linux-2.6.git mxs-gpmi

or on

  git://git.pengutronix.de/git/imx/linux-2.6.git  imx-for-3.1



I found the .config may influence the DMA.
I guess there is some module which has impact to the DMA.
So You should use the right .config first, you can get the right
.config by two ways:
[1] use the 'make mxs_defconfig' in the imx-for-3.1 branch of
   tree: git://git.pengutronix.de/git/imx/linux-2.6.git

[2] use the attachment which is tested by me.
