dmaengine specifies the possibility that several descriptors
can be queued for transfer. It also indicates that tasklets
must be used for DMA callbacks.

Have you tested this patch with audio?

Yes,
I have a test battery which tests audio, mmc, runs dmatest module and
a custom mem2mem video device I'm developing.

You fall through here. Is this intended? If yes, a comment would be good
here.

Yes it is. cyclic is the same as slave_sg with the add-on of the
progression handler and a specific configuration of the sglist which
is done in 'imxdma_prep_dma_cyclic'.
Do you want me to send a new version with a comment on the matter?
