The root cause is that sdma_run_channel does a
wait_for_completion_timeout() to wait for the special channel 0 to
complete which is complete overkill from my point of view.
channel 0 is used internally in the DMA engine and should always
complete within a few microseconds. Thus a busy loop with a timeout
would be fine here.

Furthermore a mutex is used to serialize access to channel data
structures which also forbids the affected function to be used in
interrupt context.

The following patch would fix that:
