We could do that but dma drivers enable the interrupts within
dmaengine_prep_dma_cyclic() call, and we fill up the callback for
dmaengine_submit() dmaengine API call.
We need to tell the dma drivers in dmaengine_prep_dma_cyclic() to suppress the
interrupts.

Note: First I was trying this to be done in hw_params() time via the
dmaengine_slave_config() call, but substream->runtime->no_period_wakeup is not
configured in there. It is set for _prepare() and _trigger().

As Vinod and Russell suggested I will modify the dmaengine_prep_dma_cyclic()
API to pass flags as well instead of the no_wakeup parameter.
