For those who don't bother looking at my kautobuild boot tests on the OMAP boards I have, here's the errors which get spat out at boot time. Note that some of these I've reported in the past, and one of them is missing a newline character at the end of its string.

As of today, I've rebased my serial changes as far forward as I dare at the moment (to the commit before removal of DMA), and then merged it into the latest trees from armsoc and myself, fixing up all the horrid conflicts. I've finally got it to a stage where at least it compiles, but unfortunately something has broken serial output from userspace quite badly to the point that it doesn't work. I know that my serial changes were fine before I tried rebasing them (the set I posted to the mailing list certainly did work) so I suspect that it's down to incompatibilities between the fixes done by others (who didn't really understand all issues involved) and those done by myself. Unfortunately, the series of patches to fix the register writes and bits to enable hardware assisted software flow control which have gone into mainline have actually made the situation much worse - now the hardware can end up with IXANY stuck on, and no way to turn off hardware assisted software flow control - which is bad news for binary serial protocols. It would have been far better to leave the driver as-is - at least the software flow control would have been dealt correctly by the generic tty layer. Instead, we have a worse situation today... While I may be the ex-maintainer of serial-core, given that I had already investigated the issues there and had an understanding of the problems, -and that was known-, copying me with the patches before they went into mainline would've been the decent thing to have done, so that someone with the knowledge of the breakage could have said "yes lets take those patches" and "no, those shouldn't go in because it'll cause breakage" such as I describe above. I know how this situation arose; TI are desperate to get rid of the legacy OMAP DMA API, and wanted me to look at the crypto drivers for DMA engine support. In the mean time, they silently took the serial issues away from me and gave them other people to look at. Reality is, I could have sorted out the serial issues while I wait for responses from Dan Williams on the async tx API issues. Eventually, I got bored of waiting for Dan's responses, that I looked at the serial issues anyway, and produced _my_ patch set which fixes the issues _properly_, so at least I can say that I had done something producive. The sad thing is, most of that is now having to be reworked to sort out an entirely new set of problems caused by TI's attitude towards this stuff, and this rework is consuming a lot more time than it needed to. As for Dan, an update for the situation from Monday's call. I have a reply to my email I sent during that call, and Dan is looking at getting back up to speed with DMA engine stuff - but he no longer has the hardware. He seems to want to keep hold of the responsibility for that, so I think we're rather stuck at the moment over anything OMAP which uses the crypto stuff. That's fine for the time being; the schedule for the removal of the legacy OMAP DMA stuff that I put into feature-removal.txt says "2013" and I _never_ intended that to mean the start of 2013. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-omap" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
