Ok good, so I will include these field in v2. The FLCTL has support
for 4 channels, 2 for data read/write and 2 for ECC read/write.
The driver currently supports only the data part. Should I include the
ECC part nevertheless?
Further would you prefer the naming
- fifo0_rx fifo0_tx fifo1_rx fifo1_tx (close to the datasheet) or
- data_rx data_tx ecc_rx ecc_tx
Then the dmas field:
If I get it right, we have 3 possible DMA controllers to use on the
sh7372 and we specify the mid/rid value as second argument?
So how about this to add to the docs:
dmas = <&dma1 0x83 /* fifo0_rx */
&dma1 0x83 /* fifo0_tx */
&dma2 0x83 /* fifo0_rx */
&dma2 0x83 /* fifo0_tx */
&dma3 0x83 /* fifo0_rx */
&dma3 0x83>; /* fifo0_tx */
dma-names = "fifo0_rx", "fifo0_tx", fifo0_rx", "fifo0_tx", fifo0_rx",
"fifo0_tx";
Many thanks for the help,
Bastian
