Question, is 'set_ld_eol' safe to call on descriptors that may not be
the last in the list? For example what about the following sequence:

/* prepare two descriptors */
tx1 = fsl_dma_prep_interrupt(chan);
tx2 = fsl_dma_prep_memcpy(chan);

/* submit out of order */
tx2->tx_submit(tx2);
tx1->tx_submit(tx1);

This is only a concern if you plan to support channel switching at
some point. For example, switching from a memcpy channel to an xor
channel.

Thanks,
Dan
