For newer (r1p10 +) versions , there is a new bit in status register to 
get the active axi transaction, we can leverage it.


For older versions, there is no mechanism to check the current ongoing
transaction, it is a corner case. Currently, in macb_close(), iflink 
down and in suspend we are disabling / cutting clocks to the engine
without checking any DMA transaction in flight.
