I think, you should simply have 'bool cyclic' instead of > enum. On cyclic mode, Pl330_tasklet() operation is changed according to the value of 'cyclic'. In case of CYCLIC_PREP, Pl330_tasklet()operation is same with normal operation. In case of CYCLIC_TRIGGER, pl330_tasklet()reloads the done data into work_list. So, 'Cyclic' needs two status(CYCLIC_PREP and CYCLIC_TRIGGER) to distinguish the operation on pl330_tasklet(). The sequence is following. device_prep_dma_cyclic() -> set CYCLIC_PREP -> device_issue_pending() -> Pl330_tasklet() with CYCLIC_PREP -> set CYCLIC_TRIGGER -> PL330 IRQ -> Pl330_tasklet() with CYCLIC_TRIGGER.
