Subject: [PATCH] dmaengine/coh901318: fix slave submission semantics

From: Linus Walleij <linus.walleij@...aro.org>

While testing Per Forlins MMC speed improvements I noticed a
semantic bug in the COH901318 driver: it will write to channel
registers in the prep_slave_sg() function, instead of deferring
it to later, breaking the assumption from the drivers to be able
to queue up new jobs while another job is running. Fix this by
storing up the initial register writes in the job descriptors
and write them to hardware when we process the descriptor
instead. Now the stress tests work.

Acked-by: Per Forlin <per.forlin@...aro.org>
