Hi Paul,

Until now, when running at the maximum resolution of 1280x720 at 32bpp
on the JZ4770 SoC the output was garbled, the X/Y position of the
top-left corner of the framebuffer warping to a random position with
the whole image being offset accordingly, every time a new frame was
being submitted.

This problem can be eliminated by using a bigger burst size for the DMA.

Are there any alignment constraints of the framebuffer that depends on
the burst size? I am hit by this with some atmel IP - which is why I
ask.

I verified this, and everything behaves correctly when the source address is not aligned to the burst size. So I believe in our case the DMA is smart enough to auto-select the best burst size, up to the configured value.

Patch looks good and is a-b.


Set in each soc_info structure the maximum burst size supported by the
corresponding SoC, and use it in the driver.

Set the new value using regmap_update_bits() instead of
regmap_set_bits(), since we do want to override the old value of the
burst size. (Note that regmap_set_bits() wasn't really valid before for
the same reason, but it never seemed to be a problem).
