Hi Vinod!

Both functions (vchan_desc_put and axi_desc_put) are used.
First one is put as callback to vchan, second one is used when we need
to free descriptors after errors in preparing function (before we call
vchan_tx_prep).

I don't think we need residue calculation in mem-to-mem transfers. I'm
planning to add residue calculation at once with DMA_SLAVE
functionality.

I re-read the documentation and yes - I can use async variant here (and
in the other parts of this driver).

Each virtual descriptor encapsulates several hardware descriptors,
which belong to same transfer.
This list (xfer_list) is used only for allocating/freeing these
descriptors and it doesn't affect on virtual dma work logic.
