I have seen similar patterns in these drivers and it was the right thing to do
imho.
Unfortunately I can not test on other platforms than eDMA and sDMA, but I
firmly believe that based on the usage it should be fine as it survives my
torture tests.

It would be great to see some Tested-by from others to have more coverage.
