Given the comments on earlier patches we should reconsider descriptions
of the VGA area in this paragraph.

I'm wondering if we can rearrange the code to move the sanity checks to the
top of the function, so this and the `op.direction >
ASPEED_XDMA_DIRECTION_RESET` case.

The check above should fail for the reset case as well, I expect op.len should
be set to zero in that case. But I still think that jamming the reset command
into a "direction" concept feels broken, so as mentioned on an earlier patch
I'd prefer we move that distraction out to a separate patch.

I think EBUSY is better here.

You've used file_lock here to protect aspeed_xdma_start() but start_lock
above to protect aspeed_xdma_reset(), so it seems one client can disrupt
another by resetting the engine while a DMA is in progress?

What assurance do we have that a DMA isn't in progress? With non-blocking
IO we could easily start one then close the file descriptor, which would cause
havoc if the physical range is reused by a subsequent mapping.

Shouldn't we also cancel the DMA op? This seems like a DoS risk: set up
a non-blocking, large downstream transfer then close the client. Also risks
scribbling on memory we no-longer own given we don't cancel/wait for
completion in vm close callback?
