Redundant parens.

Would it be the case?

Messages like this kinda redundant.
Either you use function tracer and see them anyway, or you are using
Dynamic Debug, which may include function name.

Basically you wrote an equivalent to something like

dev_dbg(dev, "%s\n", channame);

...and taking into account the function itself one might expect
something useful printed in _start_first_queued().

For some cases there is also dev_vdbg().

Can you try to enable DMADEVICES_DEBUG and VDEBUG and see what is useful
and what is not?

Give a chance to function tracer as well.

Yeah, as I said, dw_dmac is not a good example. And this one can be
managed by runtime PM I suppose.

Read datasheet for a SoC/platform? For dw_dmac is chosen with accordance
to hardware topology.

Usually it makes readability harder and rises a red flag to the code.

I would suggest to leave this on caller. At some point, if no one else
do this faster than me, I would like to introduce something like struct
dma_parms per DMA channel to allow caller prepare SG list suitable for
the DMA device.

Do you indeed have a use case for this except debugging and testing?

One line?

I hope at some point ARC (and other architectures which will use this
IP) can implement MMIO tracer.

Extra line.

Redundant parens.

You may move this invariant out from the loop. Makes code cleaner.

This is indeed property of channel.
That said, you may do a trick and use descriptor status for it.
You channel and driver, I'm sure, can't serve in interleaved mode with
descriptors. So, that makes channel(paused) == active
descriptor(paused).

The trick allows to make code cleaner.

I'm not sure you will have a use case for that. Have you?

You can't do this unless you are using threaded IRQ handler without any
tasklets involved.

There was a nice mail by Thomas who explained what the problem you have
there.

It's a bug in your code.

Hmm... Why it can't be just a platform driver? You describe the
dependency in Device Tree, if you have something happened, you may
utilize -EPROBE_DEFER.
