This is wrong. Why wouldn't you give gadget driver the chance to decide
if it needs to queue the request again or not ?

this also seems wrong(-ish).
1) as Paul pointed out, you can't rely on jiffies if you're calling this
with IRQs disabled.
2) you don't really need to wait until DMA finishes its transaction
before returning from start_dma(), just use the DMA completion IRQ,
3) I don't see anywhere any sanitizing of arguments, can your DMA really
handle any alignment/unaligned addresses or should you make sure you're
getting good arguments?
You need to work on this a little bit, I guess.
