I made a comment that a test suite for the async_tx API would be very
helpful in diagnosing similar problems in this and other DMA drivers.
Something standalone, similar to the drivers/dma/dmatest.c driver, using
the async_tx API.

I think this was misinterpreted into me asking that the driver have a
built-in self test.
