Is it possible that the handoff_fifo is freed, then we could observe
reset complete interrupts before they are being cleared in
hidma_ll_uninit later on, which would lead to the following call chain

 hidma_ll_inthandler - hidma_ll_int_handler_internal -
hidma_handle_tre_completion - hidma_post_completed -
tasklet_schedule(&lldev->task); - hidma_ll_tre_complete - kfifo_out
