Don't you need to perform the same check for the DMA and CDMA channels
?

If so, shouldn't this be moved to common code ?
Will fix it in v2...

There's another problem (not strictly introduced by this patch) I
wanted to mention. The append_desc_queue() function, called from
your tx_submit handler, appends descriptors to the pending_list. The
DMA engine API states that a transfer submitted by tx_submit will
not be executed until
.issue_pending() is called. However, if a transfer is in progress at
tx_submit time, I believe that the IRQ handler, at transfer
completion, will start the next transfer from the pending_list even
if
.issue_pending() hasn't been called for it.

 		return;
If user submits more than h/w limit then that case only driver will
process The descriptors from the pending_list for other cases the
pending_list will be Empty so driver just returns from there.
I understand that, but that's not the problem. Your .tx_submit() handler calls
append_desc_queue() which adds the tx descriptor to the pending_list. If a
transfer is in progress at that time, I believe the transfer completion IRQ handler
will take the next descriptor from the pending_list and process it, even though
issue_pending() hasn't been called for it.
Thanks for the explanation...
Agree will keep this my to-do list...

Kedar.
