It works just like an interrupt controller on irq enable and disable. It has a register called
set/clear enable request register(SERQ/CERQ) to enable or disable the DMA request for a given
channel. It won't transfer data any more with the enable request register cleared. So for the
pause and terminate the pause is the same. And there is no other way to stop the channels.
Thanks.

I have send the v11 patch out with a basic device_slave_caps definition. I notice
that there is some new update of the dma capabilities, so if possible and others ok,
could you please merge this patch first and leave me improving the driver in subsequent
patches. Thanks.
