OK, I will add it in my following patch.

I did not meet it in the first time of playing. However, it can happen
in the second play.
The root cause is that we get an unexpected dma irq before iprtd
is initialized when request dma channel(still not start channel).

It seemed to be a DMA issue that the dma channel of saif was in
an abnormal state after disable.

A patch already prepared to fix this issue is as follows:
I am going to send it out for review.
Can you help try if it can fix your issue?

    ARM: mxs-dma: reset after disable channel

    We met some channels in abnormal state after disable.
    Reset it to get a clean state.
