Would it make sense to move the message out of the loop and use dev_err() ? It 
seems like a pretty serious error.

How long does the DMA engine typically need to stop ? Is there a safe upper 
bound ?

As the rcar_dmac_wait_stop() function is used here only I'd inline the code 
directly.

If you use dev_err() instead of dev_dbg() above you could remove the WARN_on.
