From: Achim Dahlhoff <Achim.Dahlhoff@xxxxxxxxxxxx>
The tx_status poll in the rcar_dmac driver reads the status register
which indicates which chunk is busy (DMACHCRB). Afterwards the point
inside the chunk is read from DMATCRB. It is possible that the chunk
has changed between the two reads. The result is a non-monotonous
increase of the residue. Fix this by introducing a 'safe read' logic.

Note: Patch done against mainline v5.0
Changes in v2: Switch goto/retry to for loop
Any status update on this and the first fix
[PATCH v2 1/2] dmaengine: sh: rcar-dmac: With cyclic DMA residue 0 is valid
?
I still think they are required to fix the rcar-dmac driver.
Best regards
Dirk
