I don't think any dma channels gracefully handle descriptors that were
prepped but not submitted. You would probably need to submit the
backlog, poll for completion, and then return the error.
Alternatively, the expectation is that descriptor allocations are
transient, i.e. once previously submitted transactions are completed
the descriptors will return to the available pool. So you could do
what async_tx routines do and just poll for a descriptor.

Some dma drivers cannot tolerate prep being reordered with respect to
submit (ioatdma enforces this ordering by locking in prep and
unlocking in submit). In general those channels can be identified by
ones that select CONFIG_ASYNC_TX_DISABLE_CHANNEL_SWITCH. However this
opt-out arrangement is awkward so I'll put together a patch to make it
opt-in (CONFIG_ASYNC_TX_CHANNEL_SWITCH).
The end implication for this patch is that CONFIG_DMAENGINE_SG_TO_SG
can only be supported by those channels that are also prepared to
handle channel switching i.e. can tolerate intervening calls to prep()
before the eventual submit().

Per the above comment if we are already depending on channel switch
being enabled for sg-to-sg operation, then you can just use the 'next'
pointer to have a singly linked list of descriptors. Rather than
increase the size of the base descriptor.
