Summary: MMC/SD can't work on bf537-stamp when either icache or dcache is off

Details:

MMC/SD can't work on bf537-stamp when either icache or dcache is off. This happens on both branch 2010r1 and trunk.

Last passed version is 2405; first failed version is 2411.

Bellow is the log:

Hi Mike,

This bug was introduced by your latest change to the SPI DMA code before code

freeze. Could you take a look?

--- Mike Frysinger                                           2010-10-12 21:10:14

i'm not worried about cache off behavior.  does the issue only crop up when

caches are off ?

--- Vivi Li                                                  2010-10-13 23:52:32

Yes, it happens only when either one of the caches is off.

--- Sonic Zhang                                              2010-10-18 22:32:47

Hi Mike,

I guess the conclusion is that we should not worry about spi device with cache

off? If so, Vivi may disable SPI cases with cache off.

--- Mike Frysinger                                           2011-05-07 18:09:57

i dont think any customer will ever run with caches turned off since the speed

loss is so high.  it is useful to test with caches off as the increased latency

sometimes can detect race conditions in the code.

does this still fail with the newer mmc/spi driver ?  i think this test was run

against the old one which no longer exists ...
