- According to Linux, the ALi M5451 can do 31-bit DMA instead of just
30-bit like the reset of the controllers supported by this driver.
Actually ALi M5451 can be setup up to generate 32-bit addresses by
setting the 31st bit via the accompanying ISA bridge, which allows
it to work in sparc64 machines whose IOMMU require at least 32-bit
DMA. Even though other architectures would also benefit from 32-bit
DMA, enabling this bit is limited to sparc64 as bus_dma(9) doesn't
generally guarantee that a low address of BUS_SPACE_MAXADDR_32BIT
results in a buffer in the 32-bit range.
- According to Tatsuo YOKOGAWA's ali(4), the the DMA transfer size of
ALi M5451 is fixed to 64k and in fact using the default size of 4k
causes the chip to overrun the mapping, triggering uncorrectable
DMA errors on sparc64.
- The 4DWAVE DX and NX require the recording buffer to be 8-byte
aligned so adjust the bus_dma_tag_create(9) accordingly.
- Unlike the rest of the controllers supported by this driver, the
ALi M5451 only has 32 hardware channels instead of 64 so limit the
loop in tr_intr() accordingly. [1]
