On some architectures such as arm64, siano chip based TV-tuner USB devices are not recognized correctly due to coherent memory allocation failure with the following error: [ 663.556135] usbcore: deregistering interface driver smsusb [ 683.624809] smsusb:smsusb_probe: board id=18, interface number 0 [ 683.633530] smsusb:smsusb_init_device: smscore_register_device(...) failed, rc -12 [ 683.641501] smsusb:smsusb_probe: Device initialized with return code -12 [ 683.652978] smsusb: probe of 1-1:1.0 failed with error -12 This is caused by dma_alloc_coherent(NULL, ...) returning NULL in smscoreapi.c. To fix this error, allocate the buffer memory for the USB devices via kmalloc() and let the USB core do the DMA mapping and free.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
