Looks good now,

There is one small enhancement that you could still do and I'll shut up after
that ;-)

If you just unroll this loop, you get code that is smaller and easier to
understand:

/* Set 1st to 5th source addresses */
xgene_dma_set_src_buffer(&desc1->m1, &len, &src[0]);
xgene_dma_set_src_buffer(&desc2->m0, &len, &src[1]);
xgene_dma_set_src_buffer(&desc2->m3, &len, &src[2]);
xgene_dma_set_src_buffer(&desc2->m2, &len, &src[3]);
desc1->m2 |= cpu_to_le64(scf[0] | scf[1] << 8 | scf[2] << 16 | scf[3] << 24);
