That's a bit odd. How is your driver getting the IRQ its requesting? Are you using the same .dts in both cases?

So after I've built the kernel to include the dmaengine and fsldma drivers, my driver is allowed to register its ISR via request_irq. However, if these drivers are not installed then request_irq fails in my driver. So it seems that there is some other initialization happening before request_irq is being called in fsldma and subsequently my driver. Does anyone know what this is?

The dmaengine provides a generic set of APIs w/a FSL dma backend.  It
might be the case that your need of dma doesnt fit into the current
set of APIs.

Well in that case wouldn't I need to use the fsldma driver?  Or is
dmaengine a generic dma driver?

I'm trying to write a driver that would make use of the DMA on the
MPC8313.  I'm attempting to
register the interrupt with request_irq but it is not passing.  Is
there something that I need to
do before I call request_irq, maybe in the dts or somewhere else?


any reason you aren't using the dmaengine driver?
