I am not able to find any information on how DMA can be configured for CPC to 
reflect either source or destination port address progress. Official 
documentation, even if not very clear for me, seems to suggest that it always 
follows destination port address, even if constatnt (ie 
DMA_CCR:DST_AMODE(15:14) == 0).

Not exactly. According to my copy of 
http://focus.ti.com/lit/ug/spru674/spru674.pdf, the secnod case is:

	If the channel transfer is synchronized on frames
	(DMA_CCR SYNC ≠ 0 and DMA_CCR FS = 1) or not
	synchronized (DMA_CCR SYNC = 0), the register is
	updated with 16 LSB of the address each time the
	destination port issues the last request for a frame.

Anyway, that seems to be irrelevant in our case.

Not exactly. Even if not touched inside any of omap_set_dma_transfer_params(), 
omap_set_dma_src_params() nor omap_set_dma_dest_params(), these bits are 
already set by arch/arm/plat-omap/dma.c:omap_request_dma(int dev_id, ...):

 765         } else if (cpu_is_omap7xx() || cpu_is_omap15xx()) {
 766                 dma_write(dev_id, CCR(free_ch));

Sure. I remember we already talk about this before. That time, I had only 
verified that the change you proposed did not help in solving a different 
problem I used to have before. Then I found the above explanation, but never 
got an idea to let you know.

BTW, here the code tries to read (and than write) an address (CCR2) that is 
not supported on OMAP1510. I have not noticed any side effects, neither 
negative nor positive, but can provide a patch if OMAP guys ever find 
patching this as desired.

Here you are. Same figures wheather with or without your patch. I also printed 
a value that CCR is written with, so you can verify those SYNC(4:0) bits are 
set correctly.

Peter,
I have really no idea how the old 2.4 code could do the job with just reading 
CPC for both capture and playback, but if you think that with my ams-delta 
machine on hand I can still help you in finding that out, please let me know.

Cheers,
Janusz
