Will fix.

Mika, I don't remember details here, but this piece came from you. Can
you shed a light?

My understanding that DMA IP is private to the host controller and has
the same power rail. Thus, there is no need to do separate power
management for it, which makes things more complicated for no profit.
It is also needed for time period from probe till first transfer
(otherwise we have to check the status of DMA anyway and enable it if
required), which currently remains DMA off.

I don't see much improvement, since it's a rare cases, but waste of
memory. If you consider that should be done I can implement it.

Just for sake of making neat code. This is really minor and if you
think better to call directly the mentioned function I can do that.

Do you mean hardware can become into wrong state?

Only what can actually happen is the data loss which is in DMA FIFO,
but we already know we would like to terminate the transfer we don't
care about any data loss since that.

I didn't see any specifics to that in the public specification (see
cover letter for a link).

Yes, which is exactly zero on this stage.

We already discussed this several times. There is no dependency
between DMA and its users during PM cycles. We have to be sure that
device (host controller) is quiescent before we stop DMA.
