After the move of the postenable code to preenable, the DMA start was done before the DMA init, which is not correct. The DMA is initialized in set_watermark. Because of this, we need to call the DMA start functions in set_watermark, after the DMA init, instead of preenable hook, when the DMA is not properly setup yet.
