   * DMA_CTRL_ACK
-    - Undocumented feature
-    - No one really has an idea of what it's about, besides being
-      related to reusing the DMA transaction descriptors or having
-      additional transactions added to it in the async-tx API
-    - Useless in the case of the slave API
+    - if set, the TX transfer can be reused after being completed.
+    - there is a guarantee the TX won't be freed until it is acked
+      by async_tx_ack()
+    - as a consequence, if a device driver wants to skip the dma_map_sg() and
+      dma_unmap_sg() because the DMA'd data wasn't used, it can resubmit the
+      transfer right after its completion.
