Certain errata's in OMAP2+ processors will require forcing master standby to "no standby" mode before completing on going operation. Without this, the results will be unpredictable.

These API's are required for multiple DMA errata's which require putting DMA controller in no mstandby mode before stopping dma. The applicable errata's: 1. Errata ID: i557(Applicable for omap36xx all ES versions) The channel hangs when the Pause bit (DMA4_CDPi [7] ) is cleared through config port while in Standby. 2. Errata ID: i541(all omap2plus except omap4) sDMA FIFO draining does not finish 3. OMAP3430 ES1.0(Errata ID:i88) will require DMA to be put in no mstandby mode before disabling the channel after completing the data transfer operation.
