My Armada 385 -device hangs when using marvell-cesa -driver.
I'm using Linux 4.4.10 and armada-385-db-ap.dts.
I have also tried with the driver version of Linux 4.7-rc3.

Please see https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=120111 for details.
Can you try with
http://git.infradead.org/linux-mvebu.git/commitdiff/c5379ba8fccd99d5f99632c789f0393d84a57805
applied ?
Thanks Thomas.
Your patch seems to fix a random hang during crypto operations.

Unfortunately it seems to hit the crypto performance too.
The command "cryptsetup benchmark --cipher aes-cbc"
gives me around 35 MiB/s instead of 50 MiB/s.

The patch did not fix the hanging which appears instantly after enabling tdma
in the driver and running some crypto operation.

Thanks,

Jussi

OK, great.

I don't understand. Above you're saying that it fixes the problem, and
now you're saying that it doesn't.

Could you test with the latest 4.7-rc kernel + the patch I provided?

(i.e, don't use 4.4 + your own backports, we have no idea which patches
you have backported, and if the backport was done properly)
