Will be great if you could find out and provide a detailed explanation about the exact differences of the methods from software perspective. Try to ask the hardware people. If you won't be able to find out, then use both methods. Then you could specify the "pause" callback within the tegra_dma_chip_data [tdma->chip_data->pause(tdma)], instead of using condition in the code.
