SGDMA Reception in Polling mode

Hi, I want to poll SGDMA for incoming packets from the network in TSE, here what I am doing is constructing the descriptor and submitting it with do_sync_transfer and it polls BUSY bit and returns...

Are you sure the SGDMA actually does the transfer? Try and monitor is with SignalTap. do_sync_transfer should return as soon as the DMA is finished.

Do you have a descriptor chain where the first descriptor has OWNED_BY_HW set to 1 and the second has is to 0?
