why a random, unrelated commit? and no mention of tree..

and why are you doing this ?

Why cant it be like dma_slave_config and take effect on next descriptor
prepare?

Why do you want to reset this externally, that sounds bad to me

Can you explain what coalesc means here?

Shouldn't you save it apply for a descriptor?

not EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL?

Why do you use GFP_NOWAIT in probe?
