The patch looks good to me.
Just a few remarks below:

This return is not needed

Don't you need locks in dw_dma_cyclic_stop?

In this case both spin_unlock_bh() could be replaced by single one called before "if (was_cyclic)":

+ was_cyclic = test_and_set_bit(DW_DMA_IS_CYCLIC, &dwc->flags);
+ spin_unlock_bh(&dwc->lock);
+ if (was_cyclic) {
+ dev_dbg(chan2dev(&dwc->chan),
+ "channel already prepared for cyclic DMA\n");
+ return ERR_PTR(-EBUSY);
+ }

Maciej
