In case you are not ignoring me but $reason here is an example that does
not work (with both drivers);

    desc = dmaengine_prep_slave_single(rxchan, …);
    rx_cookie = dmaengine_submit(desc);
    dma_async_issue_pending(rxchan);

    ssleep(2);
    /* Now assume that the transfer did not start */
    st = dmaengine_tx_status(rxchan, rx_cookie, NULL);
    /* st is now DMA_IN_PROGRESS as expected */

    dmaengine_terminate_all(rxchan);
    st = dmaengine_tx_status(rxchan, rx_cookie, NULL);
    /* st is still DMA_IN_PROGRESS but _I_ expect DMA_COMPLETE because
     * it has been terminated / canceled
     */

Both dma driver clean up all / terminate all descriptors as required but
_none_ of them completes the cookie. As a result dma_cookie_status()
still thinks that the transfer is in progress.
