[Tinyos-devel] msp spi dma driver prevents lowpower mode 3

[David Moss]

I verified this works fine, and does put your node into a lower power mode
without messing anything up.  Everyone using an MSP430 platform with DMA
owes you a beer.

Roman -

I saw your email on this last month.  Has anyone taken any action on this?
I'll do some analysis to double check it works, and if it does, we should
get your fix checked in asap.

i noticed that my application (running on tmotes) using dma on spi does 
not go to the lowest possible sleep mode but only to LPM1.
i managed to find out, that in McusleepC when calculating the lowpower 
mode, ME1 had the USPIE bit set. this is, because in Msp430SpiDmaP the 
unconfigure command does nothing. I don't know, if this is done on 
purpose, but if not, the same code as in Msp430SpiNoDmaP would do the 
job (see follwing diff)
