OK.

This is the current/active descriptor which has been removed from the
issued list and so it needs to be calculated.

So either the descriptor is still in the submitted list or it has
completed but it has not been marked complete yet. In both cases, we
don't have access to the descriptor and so the residue is marked as 0
and we return the current status. Please note this is based upon the
omap dma driver (drivers/dma/omap-dma.c) which does the same. Other dma
driver do very similar things here as well.

So, AFAICT, dma_async_device_register() does not check to see if
device_prep_slave_sg() is valid AND none of the functions
dmaengine_prep_slave_single(), dmaengine_prep_slave_single() and
dmaengine_prep_rio_sg() check to see if the function pointer is valid
before calling chan->device->device_prep_slave_sg(). So it seems that we
always expect this function pointer to be valid.

So should the inline functions ensure the function pointer is valid
before attempting to call them? If so I can add a patch for this.
Otherwise it seems the driver needs a stub. It would be a massive change
to add a new capability, say SLAVE_SG, and populate this for all
existing drivers.

Originally, I did have this in DT, however, the Tegra maintainers prefer
this and this is consistent with the other Tegra DMA driver (see
driver/dma/tegra20-apb-dma.c) [0].

Why should I not be setting DMA_SLAVE? Should I not be calling
dma_get_any_slave_channel() in the xlate?

I think that I do want to set DMA_CYCLIC as well to ensure that we check
that the device->device_prep_dma_cyclic() function pointer is populated
when registering the DMA controller.
