ok here is tha catch, do you want to support interleaved API rather?

Need ack from DT folks. ALso would be better to split the binding to a separate
patch

why should channel have a direction... descriptor should have direction and not
the channel!

do you want to use _safe. Isee that this is called for cleanup while lock held,
and in other case within another _safe iterator!

naaah, we dont do that, pls use standard notation of 0 on success
Also API wants you to return descriptors allocated here!

Can you use virtual dma implementation to simplfy your implemenattion of lists,
cookies (driver/dma/virt-dma.c)

no residue calculation?

wouldnt do while be better than doing than increamenting loop by 1 above and
using in while!

okay now am worried, this is supposed to memcpy DMA so why slave-sg??

Looking at the driver overall, IMHO we need to do:
- use the virt-dma to simplfy the cookie handling and perhpasn the descrptors
  too!
- Perhpas use interleaved API..?
- I dont think we should use the slave API as this seems memcpy case!
