This looks rather fun - and the only place d->es is used is to convey
this as an index into this table for bcm2835_dma_desc_size().  I can't
quite see the point of this table existing.

Why not move the initialisation of this control block to the preparation
function?  I think doing that would simplify this code somewhat, as
you won't be converting the information passed to the preparation function
multiple times.

Hmm.  Why "request_any_context_irq" ?  Looking at what your "dma callback"
is doing, it's operating entirely beneath a spinlock with IRQs disabled.
You might as well handle it in hard IRQ context.

Please move sync_dreq out of the if() statements; it doesn't appear to
depend on the direction (there's only one of them in that structure too.)
While there, you might as well assign it directly to d->sync_dreq below.

Even better, with the code in bcm2835_dma_start_sg() moved into this
function to generate the control block, you don't need to save a lot
of the information in your descriptor.

This is needlessly complex; please simplify this.

You should pass 'flags' as the 3rd argument here.
