Ah I didn't know that the DONE bit was set even for cancel/abort, but
that makes sense given that it's a sequencer and everything that goes
into the sequencer eventually gets "DONE". I agree if the DONE bit
hanging around that really confuses stuff, so best to ignore it and
figure out why interrupt latencies are leading to this problem.
