Whereas it should have said dmaengine. Please use the proper subsystem styles otherwise your patches will get ignored..

When retrieving the residue value for cyclic transfers, the SRC/DST fields of the active PaRAM are read. However, the AM335x Technical Reference Manual states: 11.3.3.6 Parameter Set Updates After the TR is read from the PaRAM (and is in the process of being submitted to the EDMA3TC), the following fields are updated as needed: ... SRC DST This means SRC/DST is incremented even though the DMA transfer may not have started yet or is in progress. Thus if the reader of the residue accesses the DMA buffer too quickly, the CPU is misinformed about the data that has been successfully processed. The CCSTAT.ACTV register is a boolean that is set if any TR is being processed by either the EMDA3CC or EDMA3TC. By polling this register it is possible to ensure that the residue value returned is valid for immediate processing. However, since the DMA engine may be active, polling may never hit a moment where no TR is being processed. To handle this, the SRC/DST is also polled to see if it changes. And as a last resort, a max loop count for the busy waiting exists to avoid an infinite loop.
