Hi,

mostly looking good...

Have you guessed or measured this value? A comment about this value
would be nice.

Please use proper types as there are things like 'enum
dma_data_direction' and the likes...

This can fail, too. Use dma_submit_error() to check.

Have you tested signals extensively? I can't really recommend the
_intrruptible_ here. I don't see any cleaning up to get the bus to a
consistent state again. Most people drop the interruptible sooner or
later.

Make this function void? DMA is optional anyhow.

Thanks,
