I agree with your proposal :) I just said I prefer for the setter
#define STM32_MDMA_SET(n, mask)		(((n) << STM32_MDMA_SHIFT(mask)) & mask)
instead of
#define STM32_MDMA_SET(n, mask)		((n) << STM32_MDMA_SHIFT(mask))

Correct TXn is not submitted to HW only descriptors are prepared. They are going
to be pushed to HW on issue_pending if not channel not running. Otherwise the
next pending request is pushed to HW on DMA completion.
So yes I can queue a memcpy can be submitted during a memcpy (or Slave SG). The
mempy will be pushed to HW after the completion of the preceding.

The only drawback is cyclic. If a cyclic DMA operation is running, no other
requests (cyclic or SG or memcpy) can be granted or queued.

Dho. ok :)
