This seems to be doing a bit more than I would expect an init function
to, and it's very surprising to see the descriptors freed immediately
after something called a submit (which suggests that the descriptors are
still in flight).

Our controller supports only bam mode , that means for writing/reading even
single register we have to use bam.
submit_descs() is synchronous so I/O is complete when it returns.
Hence freeing the descriptor after it.

That seems like the BAM API is very confusing and error prone.

Sorry for late reply
Yeah, By HW itself its complex due to security reason. We are trying
to write a BAM common API interface for all the driver which will use BAM.
