No.
It is intentional to use INTR__DMA_CMD_COMP
instead of INTR__PROGRAM_COMP here.


This is very strange of this IP,
INTR__PROGRAM_COMP is never set when DMA mode is being used.
(INTR__DMA_CMD_COMP is set instead.)


As far as I tested this IP,
INTR__PROGRAM_COMP is set only when data are written by PIO mode.


I introduced PIO transfer in
http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/772398/

I used INTR__PROGRAM_COMP in denali_pio_write().

This will be fixed anyway by
http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/772414/


I do not want to include unrelated change.
