According to the i.MX25 reference manuals, each SSI has four FIFOs. All
of those FIFOs can store up to 15 entries.
The fsl_ssi driver's internal default for the FIFO depth in 8. Set our
non-default FIFO depth explicitly in the Device Tree.

You are changing the global .dtsi file. Did you test this change with
all devices that are affected by it?

I changed the hardware description of the imx25 SSI to match the
reference manual.
I did test this change on an imx25 board with audio playback. This uses
the SSI description I modified. I verified that the driver is actually
taking the modified setting into account and that this causes no
problems.
As of today, this setting is used by the fsl_ssi driver to set the fifo
water level for dma requests.
Of course, I don't have access to the enitre range of supported imx25
boards and I don't think this is required for submitting patches.
Do you have any indication why this patch should not be merged?
Best regards,
Martin

Usually patches should not willy-nilly change the behaviour of existing
configurations unless they fix any real life bugs.

We both made our points, let the maintainer decide what to do with the
patch.

With this logic we wouldn't be able to get most driver changes applied.
If it is matching the reference manual and has been tested on the
affected hardware it should be good to go.
If you know about any specific corner cases that might break with this
change, please speak up now. Don't reject patches based on the
overarching "it might break something" argument.

Lucas

I didn't reject anything, I just wanted to make sure, that the
implications of this patch were sufficiently considered.
