Ah, well well I don't agree.

First, let's split the drivers which remove the descriptors and these which
don't :

These which remove the descriptor:
dma-jz4740.c
fsl-edma.c

These which don't remove the descriptor:
amba-pl08x.c
edma.c
img-mdc-dma.c
k3dma.c
moxart-dma.c
omap-dma.c
qcom_bam_dma.c
s3c24xx-dma.c
sa11x0-dma.c
sun6i-dma.c

That settles the correctness I think, the correct behavior is to not remove the
descriptor and let it be done by vchan_cookie_complete().

Now for the remaining 2 drivers, we'll have :
 - list_del(&vd->node) => vd becomes a singleton
 - list_move_tail(&vd->node, &...desc_completed)
   => list_del(&vd->node) : nothing changes, it's a nop
   => list_add_tail(&vd->node, &...desc_completed)

And the behavior remains correct after the patch, only one "list_del()" is done
twice for nothing. Where do you see any breakage ?

Cheers.
