OK I verified that with the current mainline kernel using dma
and g_ether and your patches 1 to 3 I can run the variable size
ping test loop for few minutes before it just stops working and
I can see the legacy DMA interrupt increase depending on the
size of the packet. Then I checked with v4.1 kernel, and that
too seems to have the same issue.

I've also verified running the same variable size ping test with
your patch 4/4 makes things stop within just a few seconds. The
script I'm using for ping is below.

Anyways, what we really should ensure here is that the external
dmarequest line is properly triggering things with dmaengine :)
That's why I'm a bit worried your patch 4/4.

Oh and I also verified the GPMC timings we're using are the same
as in production n810 kernel so that should not be the issue.

And using the async access on n800 will not work as it will
produce corrupt transfer size register the report I posted
earlier is from n800 allowing it to use async transfers. On
n810 async transfers may work as I recall it having a newer
tusb6010 version.
