Ok will fix it in the next version of the patch.

The actual programming happens in the start_transfer(I mean in issue_pending) API
There are two modes

All the h/w addresses are configured in the start_transfer API.

In simple transfer Mode the below write triggers the transfer
dma_ctrl_write(chan, XILINX_DMA_REG_BTT,
                               hw->control & XILINX_DMA_MAX_TRANS_LEN);

In SG Mode the below write triggers the transfer.
dma_ctrl_write(chan, XILINX_DMA_REG_TAILDESC, tail->phys);

There are two Channels MM2S (Memory to device) and S2MM (Device to Memory) channel.
--> In MM2S case we need to configure the SOF (Start of frame) for the first BD and we need to set EOF(end of frame) for the last BD
--> For S2MM case no need to configure SOF and EOF. Once we got the IOC interrupt will call mark the cookie as complete and will
Call the user callback. There users checks for the data.

Please let me know if you are not clear.

Ok will take care the comments in the next version of the patch.

I agree with you and even initially we had a common driver with the similar implementation
As you were mentioning.  Later on, being soft IPs, new features were added and the IPs
became diversified. As an example, this driver has a residue calculation whereas the other
driver (DMA) is not applicable and the way interrupts are handled is completely different.
Briefly, they are two complete different IPs with a different register set and descriptor format.
Eventually, it became too complex to manage the common driver as the code became messy
with lot of conditions around. Mainly the validation process is a big concern, as every change
in the IP compels to test all the complete features of both IPs.  So, we got convinced to the
approach of separating the drivers to overcome this and it comes with few addition lines of
common code.

No need of this callback earlier in the dma_slave_config we are doing terminate_all
Now we have a separate API for that so no need to have this call back.

Thanks for the comments.
