Howto use PPC4xx memory to memory DMA

[- Reyneke]

Niklaus,

Here are a few things to check:

1. Your memory destination and source addresses are contiguous. You can get 
this using something like:

mem = (void*)__get_free_pages(GFP_KERNEL | GFP_DMA, get_order(size));

2. Your source and dest addresses are _bus_ addresses. You can get these by:

source = virt_to_bus((u32 *)mem);


Also, we had some trouble with the ppc4xx_ functions using 440 - it seems 
these functions are specific to the PLB4. So if you are trying to do DMA on 
say the PLB peripheral bus on a memory mapped device, you definitely have 
some trouble.

I have some code for doing both - so of you need any further help, just ask.

Regards
