[PATCH 1/2] dmaengine: bcm2835: Fix cyclic DMA period splitting

From: Matthias Reichl <hidden>
Date: 2016-06-09 11:47:28
Also in: lkml
Subsystem: dma generic offload engine subsystem, the rest · Maintainers: Vinod Koul, Linus Torvalds

The code responsible for splitting periods into chunks that
can be handled by the DMA controller missed to update total_len,
the number of bytes processed in the current period, when there
are more chunks to follow.

Therefore total_len was stuck at 0 and the code didn't work at all.
This resulted in a wrong control block layout and audio issues because
the cyclic DMA callback wasn't executing on period boundaries.

Fix this by adding the missing total_len update.
