The same base as your side commit '05d08e2995cbe6efdb993482ee0d38a77040861a ' and
same diff, but did you revert another sdma patch about "clk_ratio" which broke sdma basic
function on non-i.mx8m chips?

    dmaengine: imx-sdma: add clock ratio 1:1 check

    On i.mx8 mscale B0 chip, AHB/SDMA clock ratio 2:1 can't be supportted,
    since SDMA clock ratio has to be increased to 250Mhz, AHB can't reach
    to 500Mhz, so use 1:1 instead.
