   TDMA driver                      DMA Client

1.
                                    dmaengine_prep()

2.

                 dma_desc->tx_list)

3.
                                    dma_async_issue_pending()

4.
   tegra_dma_tx_submit()

                         tdc->pending_sg_req)

   same actions as in #4 #5 ...

11.
