The residue calculation was taking in consideration that dma transaction status will be always retrieved in the dma callback used to inform that dma transfer is complete. However this is not the case for all subsystems that use dma. Some subsystems use a timer to check the dma status periodically. Therefore the calculation was updated and residue is calculated accordingly by a) update the residue calculation taking in consideration the last used buffer index by using *buf_ptail* variable and b) chn_real_count (number of bytes transferred) is initialized to zero, when dma channel is created, to avoid using an uninitialized value in residue calculation when dma status is checked without waiting dma complete event.
