 AHB DMA Controller

Hi,

Just one question Dan (see below).

Even if our dma controller does not seems to take advantage of
dependency requests...

...should I add the
dma_run_dependencies(txd);
call here to improve conformance to dmaengine standards ?

As you advice Atsushi Nemoto to do so, I was wondering if I have to do
the same.

Thanks for your help.
