Again, the current code was definitely intentional - I think this was 
down to the hardware error case, where for reasons I now can't remember 
I still had to nominally complete the aborted descriptor from the IRQ 
handler to avoid causing some worse problem, and hence we don't return 
early without cross-checking dch->status here, because returning 
DMA_COMPLETE when the descriptor hasn't done its job makes dmatest unhappy.

I did spend a *lot* of time exercising all the error cases, and trying 
to get a sensible result across all of the different reporting APIs was 
fiddly to say the least - there's a huge lack of consistency between 
drivers in this regard, and this was just my attempt to be the 
least-worst one :)

Thanks,
Robin.
