Subject: Re: [RFC PATCH v1] mtd: rawnand: meson: invalidate cache on polling
 ECC bit

Hello,

we reproduced this problem on one of our boards. It triggers very rare
when 'usleep_range()' is present, but when sleeping is removed - it fires
always. I suppose problem is with caching, as 'info_buf' memory is mapped by
'dma_map_single()'.

Thanks, Arseniy
