It safe not to use it and always have a table. In this case the driver
even would be available for ACPI-enabled platforms (I suppose some ARM64
might find this useful).

Strange. AFAIK they are representing bits (which is not the best idea)
in the resulting u64 field. So, anything bigger than 63 doesn't make
sense. In drivers where they are not bits quite likely a bug is hidden.

As I said above the ioreadX/iowriteX makes only sense when your IP would
be accessed via IO region or MMIO. I'm pretty sure IO is not the case at
all for this IP.

It's not necessary, but from my point of view increases readability of
the code a lot for the price of an additional readl().

You described how most of the DMA drivers are implemented, though they
are using just sg_list directly. I would recommend to do the same and
get rid of this list.

So, in other words you *have* an actual two or more users that *need*
prioritization?

I suppose it's better to implement them in the corresponding helpers in
dmaengine.h.

Better not to pretend that it has been processed successfully. Don't
call callback on it and set its status to DMA_ERROR (that's why
descriptors in many drivers have dma_status field). When user asks for
status (using cookie) the saved value would be returned until descriptor
is active.
Do you have some other workflow in mind?

Hmm... I didn't check your ->probe() and ->remove(). Do you mean you
call them explicitly by those names?
If so, please don't do that. Use pm_runtime_*() instead. And...

...in that case it's possible you have them defined but not used.

Not only (see above), the errored descriptor keeps that status.

That's why I'm not suggesting but wondering.

I mean, who are the users of them? If it's only one module, there is no
need to put them in header.

I'm not talking about registers, I'm talking about definitions like
above. Though it would be indeed little sense to split some common code
between those two.
