Does this patch need indeed? I don't think any difference here move done flag
before callback or after callback, because callback never care this flag and actually
done flag is setup for next time rather than this time. Basically, this flag should be
set to 1 quickly asap so that sdma could use this bd asap. If delay the flag may cause
sdma channel stop since all BDs consumed. Could you try again your case without
this patch?
