This patch implements DMA support into mxs-i2c. DMA transfers are now enabled by
default, though it is possible for example for debugging purposes, to disable
them via i2c->dma_mode.

Looks promising, will give it a shot this week! Thanks.
Very quick review.

You need to either split this and send via alkml or I need an ACK from
Shawn if it shall go in via I2C. You don't have Shawn on CC, please use
scripts/get_maintainer.pl on your patchesr; you have been missing
people/lists at least for the third time now.

Unrelated, useless change.

For exactness, should be "PIOQUEUE" instead of PIO. There is a PIO mode,
but we don't use it.

Have you measured the overhead of DMA? I'd still think that 

	if (MX23 || msg->len > 24)
		do_dma
	else
		do_pioqueue

might be worth considered.

Have you tried compiling the code with gcc 4.7?

Ok, it indeed should.

It might, but in the 2.6.35.3 I have from FSL, it only does:

WARN_ONCE(len > 24, "choose DMA mode if xfer len > 24 bytes\n");

Also, I tried switching PIOQUEUE/DMA, but didn't get it working. We might as 
well make this dma/pioqueue mode configurable as well as speed via platform data 
until someone comes up with a patch that can mix pioqueue and dma?

What has the compiler version to do with the relevance? :) This has
nothing to do with adding DMA support. Plus, nobody so far could tell me
what path gcc is seeing there.

Well, we are back to the "FSL code is just a reference" topic. I truly
hope that part was implemented because of laziness and not because of
hardware limitations.

User configuration is not an option here IMO, because PIOQUEUE would still
fail for bigger transfers. "Always DMA" might be better then. But I will
try to switch modes this week, that's just too tempting.

It complains that data might be undefined, do you want it in a separate patch 
then ?

Obviously.

I still havent figured out how to flip between pioqueue mode and dma mode 
without the controller getting confused, so I prefer to postpone it into 
subsequent patch. Eventually, I agree it'd be cool to be able to do this 
switching.

Yes, that's what I have in V2.

I'll have a V2 patch for you by ... in a bit ;-) Also, you can grab latest 
version here (will be updated before I submit V2):

Yes, but only if you can prove that the compiler is right.

Yes, send V2 with DMA by default, and I will give a try on the
mode-switching later, too.

It's not right, because that variable is always initialized, but this at least 
squashes the compile warning.

I'd prefer to have PIOQ by default, to avoid breaking some of the boards. Or can 
you test on all of them?

The compiler needs to be fixed, not the kernel.

? What kind of breakage do you expect? I think it is okay if we pull it
in during the merge window; we can fix issues then till the relase (and
maybe mode switching works, after all).

Heh, this is coming up again.  I'm not convincing you to take the
change, but just curious what if this is not a compile warning but
an error for the same cause that compiler is not right.

Will we have the kernel not compilable for a few cycles until the
compiler fixing is available, or we work it around to keep kernel
compiling and working before we have the compiler fixed?

This is kind of lacmus paper showing if the compiler was fixed. On the other 
hand, many people won't have a fixed compiler for a long time, so I'd be for 
applying this patch.

It's a compiler warning.

Please look at the wording of the warning.  The compiler uses "may" not
"is".  That means it can't come to a conclusion about it.

But we, as humans with our biological inference engines, can see that
the code is correct, and we _can_ choose to ignore the warning -
just like I do with:

drivers/video/omap2/displays/panel-taal.c: In function 'taal_num_errors_show':
drivers/video/omap2/displays/panel-taal.c:605: warning: 'errors' may be used uninitialized in this function

static int taal_dcs_read_1(struct taal_data *td, u8 dcs_cmd, u8 *data)
{
        int r;
        u8 buf[1];
        r = dsi_vc_dcs_read(td->dssdev, td->channel, dcs_cmd, buf, 1);
        if (r < 0)
                return r;
        *data = buf[0];  
        return 0;
}

        u8 errors;

        mutex_lock(&td->lock);
        if (td->enabled) {
                dsi_bus_lock(dssdev);
                r = taal_wake_up(dssdev);

                return r;

        return snprintf(buf, PAGE_SIZE, "%d\n", errors);

See?  We can infer from the above that that 'errors' will always be set
if r is zero - but the compiler is saying it's not clever enough to do
that automatically.

This doesn't mean the code _has_ to be changed - we can see that the
above warning is false.  Though, if there is a way to rewrite it to make
it easier for us humans to read and that makes the warning go away, it
_might_ be a good idea to make the change - but only for a maintainability
reason.

The reverse is also true - if trying to fix a warning like this makes
the code more difficult to understand, then the warning _should_ stay.

That's actually the point of programming languages - the ability to
express our instructions to a computer in a way that both we and the
compiler can readily understand.  The most important part of that is
that _we_ understand what's been written.
