Commit 6084fc2ec478 ("dmaengine: altera: Use macros instead of structs
to describe the registers") introduced a minus sign before a register
offset.

This leads to soft-locks of the DMA controller, since reading the last
status byte is required to pop the response from the FIFO. Failing to
do so will lead to a full FIFO, which means that the DMA controller
will stop processing descriptors.

According to the datasheet, I think we also could drop the "bytes
transferred" read, since only the last byte of the status register has
the side effect of emptying the FIFO.

Thanks for spotting this:
