Hi,

than this is the actual problem, no ? If we're using mode1 dma (as we
are on tx path), we should only get dma interrupt when the whole
transfer has been completed.

but this was already there before the patch.

likewise, this was there before the patch. I don't think the real
problem lies with this patch, it's been there for a while, don't you
agree ?

the problem is not on the extra if () added below the quoted code,
it's on the quoted code itself, which wasn't changed in any way.
