From: Alexander Stein Date: Thu, 5 May 2011 15:40:14 +0000 (-0700) Subject: Input: ads7846 - make transfer buffers DMA safe X-Git-Tag: v2.6.39~41^2~1 X-Git-Url: https://git.openpandora.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?p=pandora-kernel.git;a=commitdiff_plain;h=1dbe7dada2d03d1313183d439068f1f951a91244 Input: ads7846 - make transfer buffers DMA safe req.sample needs its own cacheline otherwise accessing req.msg fetches it in again. Note: This effect doesn't occur if the underlying SPI driver doesn't use DMA at all.
