Ok, I agree with you.

I have add a description on V2 patch for the watermark_level definition.

I have removed the direction checking. So I think don't need to change the
sdma_prep_dma_cyclic, sdma_prep_slave_sg.

Anyway please review the V2 patch for this, I have sent it out. In V2, I still

Thanks.
