Subject: pl330 dma failure

Hello,

I was trying to read the SPI NOR flash and found that the pl330
controller dma mysteriously fails.

There is the problem that the 256 bytes of dma program buffer does not
suffice for the whole of 4M of the flash memory so all of it cannot be
possibly transferred in one go with the pl330 driver as is now.

However, the practical limit is much smaller. At 1MHz or 40MHz the
maximum transfer size that ever finishes is 64k. At 133MHz which is
the rated flash memory clock the maximum transfer size that finishes
is 128 bytes (only tried power of 2).

There is no obvious issue with the DMA program. 128k happens to be the
smallest size that requires that the burst instruction is repeated in
the cycle and also happens to be the smallest size that fails for any
speed I tried.

Is there some obvious fix or should I just give up on transferring
more than 64k and make the driver truncate any larger transfers?

Thanks

Michal
