BTW. I've probably found the DTC write corruption.
Added the following check (13 is host buffer index register) - and it triggers 
sometimes: the value is 1 instead of 0. As we use only 16-bit writes, I don't 
see how the value could ever be odd. Looks like a bug in the chip.
The index register corrupts during the transfer, not after IRQ or timeout. The 
same check at beginning of pwrite() did not trigger.

The index register is not writable so we must(?) reset the PDMA engine to 
recover. However, this quick attempt to fix does not work, maybe we should 
reload the block count and continue?
