If you look closely at the driver you used as an example (hidma.c) it
looks like there is already something in there, which looks very much
like what you need here:

In hidma_issue_pending() the driver tries to get the device to runtime
resume. If this doesn't work, maybe due to the power domain code not
being able to be called in atomic context, the actual work of waking up
the dma hardware and issuing the descriptor is shunted to a tasklet.

If I'm reading this right, this is exactly what you need here to be
able to call the dmaengine code from atomic context: try the rpm get
and issue immediately when possible, otherwise shunt the work to a non-
atomic context where you can deal with the requirements of scu-pd.

Also you don't need the runtime resume in all of the functions you
mentioned. From a quick look into the edma driver it looks like for
example the prep_slave_dma() function only touches data structures in
memory, so you don't actually need the device to be awake at that
point. Only later in the flow when you write registers in the dma
hardware and actually issue the transfer you need to wake the device
from sleep.

Lucas
