Hi Kedareswara,

Thank you for the patch.

Don't you need to perform the same check for the DMA and CDMA channels ? If 
so, shouldn't this be moved to common code ?

There's another problem (not strictly introduced by this patch) I wanted to 
mention. The append_desc_queue() function, called from your tx_submit handler, 
appends descriptors to the pending_list. The DMA engine API states that a 
transfer submitted by tx_submit will not be executed until .issue_pending() is 
called. However, if a transfer is in progress at tx_submit time, I believe 
that the IRQ handler, at transfer completion, will start the next transfer 
from the pending_list even if .issue_pending() hasn't been called for it.

Now that you catch busy channels with a software flag, do you still need the 
xilinx_dma_is_running() and xilinx_dma_is_idle() checks ? Three different 
checks for the same or very similar conditions are confusing, if you really 
need them you should document clearly how they differ.
