It's hard to understand what exactly is DMA-aware here. I see only one
buffer that is aligned properly for DMA, the rest are not, except the
case if all of them are going in one DMA transaction. Is this the case
here?

This is aligned.

This one is aligned + offset (== AD4130_RESET_BUF_SIZE + 0).

> >> +       u8                      reg_read_tx_buf[1];

This one is aligned + offset (== AD4130_RESET_BUF_SIZE + 0 + 4).

This one is aligned + offset (== AD4130_RESET_BUF_SIZE + 0 + 4 + 1).
And this is Rx.

Here is Tx again which is most likely is not aligned...
