[alsa-devel] [PATCH] ASoC: wm_adsp: Split firmware load into smaller chunks

[Charles Keepax]

The firmware files can be quite large and allocating the whole firmware
a single DMA safe buffer can be problematic if the system is under a
high memory load. Ease the requirements slightly by writing the firmware
out in page sized chunks.
