The audio driver may only interpret the value modulo bytes_requested,
but what about other drivers such as the high-speed UART (and SPI?) drivers?

What is the dmaengine API's design requirement here, and what do other
dmaengine drivers do. If it's to store the modulo, then I'm fine with
this change.

Yep, this part of the API. The residue should be between transfer length and 0. While 0 is special and should only be returned if the transfer has finished. For cyclic transfers this means it should never be zero. So if transferred_bytes is incremented modulo length and residue is length - transferred_bytes you get the correct result.
