Ok Will make the changes for API updates will send the next patch
On top of slave-dma next.

Ok will modify.

Ok will modify.
It will be something like below

ret = dma_cookie_status(dchan, cookie, txstate);
if (ret == DMA_COMPLETE || !txstate)
        return ret;
Calculate residue.

Please correct me if I am wrong

Ok Will modify will calculate residue here.

This API is called from Interrupt handler when the BD(Buffer Descriptor) is
Successfully transmitted.
Thought of calculating residue here is more accurate than calculating the residue in the
tx_status.

This will allow to queue up multiple segments on to a single transaction descriptor.
User will submit this single desc and in the issue_pending() we decode multiple
Segments and submit to SG HW engine.  We free up the allocated_desc when it is
Submitted to the HW.

Please let me know if my explanation is not clear.

This is while preparing the descs, but I see your point.  I will fix
it in my next version of the patch.

It is not required?
As far as I know we should ack the descriptor for Slave dma case right?

We are freeing the IRQ and killing the tasklet in the chan_remove API why irq is still active at this point of time?
I didn't get you.
Could you please explain a bit?
