Subject: [PATCH 4.2.y-ckt 82/98] dmaengine: at_xdmac: fix residue computation

4.2.8-ckt6 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

---8<------------------------------------------------------------

From: Ludovic Desroches <ludovic.desroches@...el.com>

commit 25c5e9626ca4d40928dc9c44f009ce2ed0a739e7 upstream.

When computing the residue we need two pieces of information: the current
descriptor and the remaining data of the current descriptor. To get
that information, we need to read consecutively two registers but we
can't do it in an atomic way. For that reason, we have to check manually
that current descriptor has not changed.
