Yes, but seems I skimmed too quickly through the lines and failed to
recognize the point you made.

This is somewhat similar to what I made in the v7. Instead of adding
pm_runtime_put() after each tegra_dma_stop(), I removed the
tegra_dma_stop().

Looking at it once again, perhaps indeed it will be better to leave the
relevant tegra_dma_stop() in place (the irrelevant could be removed).

Please take a look at the v7, I'll drop the "[PATCH v7 13/19] dmaengine:
tegra-apb: Don't stop cyclic DMA in a case of error condition" and make
v8 after yours review of the v7. Thanks in advance!
