I have to think some more about this. I'll get back to this today. BTW, I do
agree that the WARN_ON's are bogus and should be removed.
And BTW, this isn't going to work either (mx1_camera.c):
static int mx1_camera_setup_dma(struct mx1_camera_dev *pcdev)
{
struct videobuf_buffer *vbuf = &pcdev->active->vb;
struct device *dev = pcdev->icd->dev.parent;
int ret;
if (unlikely(!pcdev->active)) {
dev_err(dev, "DMA End IRQ with no active buffer\n");
return -EFAULT;
}
The vbuf assignment should be moved after the 'if'.
