Hi Miquel,

I am experiencing a problem with NAND flash DMA timeouts on
iMX6ull based boards. The problem is very similar to that
described in:

   https://linux-mtd.infradead.narkive.com/JIUulfFB/gpmi-imx6ull-timeout-on-dma

That didn't come to any specific resolution that I could see
in that thread.

The boot trace on the console for me looks like this:

nand: Micron MT29F2G08ABAEAWP

This is using a linux kernel v5.1.14. I have seen this happen on
a number of boards I have here - but it is only occasional. It
only happens once in a while on boot, maybe 1 in 40 or more times.
So it can take quite a while to reproduce (using a boot loop setup).

As per the email thread I pointed to above I looked at reverting
those patches, but that was not at all easy given how much the gpmi
driver code had moved. So instead I modified the code with this:

So far after a couple of days of testing with this I no longer
see the DMA timeout.

Any thoughts?

Greg
