[alsa-devel] [PATCH] ASoC: fsl_ssi: Set watermark and maxburst settings to eliminate DMA xruns on imx processors
Change watermark settings for imx processors. The previous setting was fifo_depth-2, which causes silent but deadly xruns when using more than 2 channels. This patch sets the watermark & maxburst settings to
DMA, imx processors: 4 DMA, mpc8610 : fifo_depth - 2 FIQ, all : fifo_depth
This leaves mpc8610 with identically the same settings as before this patch, and changes the IMX processors to have a watermark setting of 4, meaning when there are 4 or more empty spaces in the TX FIFO, to start a DMA burst. And similarly, when there are 4 or more filled spaces in the RX fifo, to start a DMA burst.
The tradeoff with this patch is that on IMX processors, the DMA will be more reliable (not have DMA slips), epseically when running more than 2 channels, at the expense of more DMA transactions. Interrupt frequency is unaffected.
