Well spotted, this is definitely a huge bug in the driver.

However, I think on closer examination that DTD_IN actually means
transfer from device to host, so DMA_FROM_DEVICE is correct for that
case. It should be DMA_TO_DEVICE in the else if() piece.

Could you correct and resend the patch and I'll apply it.

Thanks,

James
