Is the dma engine capable of slave DMA in theory and you just don't use
that, or does it not do that at all?

That's a long busy-loop. Can you use a sleeping function instead?

Never use dma_coerce_mask_and_coherent in new drivers. Instead, make
sure that the information in the device tree is correct in the first
place so the driver doesn't need to override it.
