From: Jiada Wang <jiada_wang@xxxxxxxxxx> In cyclic dma tx's handler sdma_handle_channel_loop(), SDMA channel statue is set to either DMA_ERROR or DMA_IN_PROGRESS based on each period's status. This has the following issues: 1) If one period's status is BD_RROR, then channel status will be set to DMA_ERROR, but it will be overwritten to DMA_IN_PROGRESS if the following periods are OK. 2) DMA client may call sdma_control(DMA_TERMINATE_ALL) to stop the cyclic dma operation, sdma channel status will be set to DMA_ERROR, but if after this handler is called, then again the channel status will be overwritten to DMA_IN_PROGRESS. Then the following dmaengine_prep_dma_cyclic() will always fail, as channel status is DMA_IN_PROGRESS. As in cyclic dma tx, channel status will be initially set to DMA_IN_PROGRESS, driver only needs to change it to DMA_ERROR, when something wrong happens (one period status is wrong, or stoped by client explicitly).
