The OMAP MMC and OMAP High Speed MMC hosts now use entirely the DMA
engine API instead of the previous private DMA API implementation.

So, if the kernel is built with support for any of these hosts but it
doesn't support DMA devices nor OMAP DMA support, it fails when trying
to obtain a DMA channel which leads to the following error on an OMAP3
IGEPv2 Rev.C board (and probably on most OMAP boards with MMC support):

[ 2.199981] omap_hsmmc omap_hsmmc.1: unable to obtain RX DMA engine channel 48
[    2.215087] omap_hsmmc omap_hsmmc.0: unable to obtain RX DMA engine channel 62

selecting automatically CONFIG_DMADEVICES and CONFIG_DMA_OMAP solves it.

Considering, we are updating drivers to select the DMA engine, can you
also include
"drivers/spi/spi-omap2-mcspi.c" which is also updated for DMA engine.

Hi Santosh,

Ok, I'll send a v2 now which includes spi-omap2-mcspi then.
I don't think we should do this, the drivers should work with and without
dma. This just needs to be added to the omap2plus_defconfig.
Well this was not decided based on any DMA CONFIG option before for
the subject drivers. It is already by default enabled if the DMA is supported
by the driver IP. There is a possibility to disable it from driver platform/dt
data so that still remains.
I think it should rather be that if the driver is broken and does not work
without DMA, it should have depends on CONFIG_DMA_OMAP.
I can confirm that omap MMC can't work without DMA; polled mode is not
supported / implemented.
Same case for SPI driver as well. It uses DMA for everything except the cases
where DMA doesn't make sense like 1 byte/2 byte etc. And its not configurable,

At least considering this, it is better we do this per driver than enabling
it at SOC config.

Santosh

Hi Santosh,

And what about enabling it at the SoC config level but making the
drivers dependant on CONFIG_DMADEVICES and CONFIG_DMA_OMAP? If you
agree I can send something like this in two different patches (one for
the omap2plus_defconfig and another to make the drivers dependant on
the config option):

above has been merged, 89269ef1f0abc72c551198123e19cd4edfd43cf4
but I am missing the patches below in mainline (3.6-rc3) -- what happened?

as Javier pointed out in https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/1203391/, 
MMC is broken support e.g. on beagleboard unless DMA_OMAP is defined

I suggest to take below patches and help to avoid some extra gray hair for 
people looking for a fix for non-booting beagleboards

thanks, p.
