[PATCH 3/3] dmaengine: at_xdmac: double FIFO flush needed to compute residue

[Ludovic Desroches]

Due to the way CUBC register is updated, a double flush is needed to
compute an accurate residue. First flush aim is to get data from the DMA
FIFO and second one ensures that we won't report data which are not in
memory.
