Thank you very much Felix. The dmesg output shows that the controller
never got an interrupt for the second transaction. The patch below has
extra debugging information that may help determine why this happens.
Please apply it and re-run the test.

The last section of dmesg (after "Freeing unused kernel memory") is all
I need.

Thanks again,
Ira

Subject: [PATCH] fsldma: try and debug 85xx controller

1 - reduce the maximum transfer size to 1000 bytes to force chains
2 - re-enable end-of-segment interrupts to see what the hardware does
3 - enable end-of-list interrupts to see what the hardware does
4 - debug cookies (this shouldn't be a problem, but just in case)
