Subject: [PATCH 4.2 055/258] dmaengine: at_xdmac: clean used descriptor

4.2-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Ludovic Desroches <ludovic.desroches@...el.com>

commit 0be2136b67067617b36c70e525d7534108361e36 upstream.

When putting back a descriptor to the free descs list, some fields are
not set to 0, it can cause bugs if someone uses it without having this
in mind.
Descriptor are not put back one by one so it is easier to clean
descriptors when we request them.
