  Thanks Miquel for your review.
  I will change the sentence.

  Sure. I will add the relevant tags.

   Correct. This timeout will never happen in normal case.
   It will hit if something bad happened in the board.

  Each NAND data transfer will definitely have at least one command
  desc so that reinit is redundant.

  But some of the NAND transfers can have only command descriptors
  (i.e. no data desc) so, we need to reinit last_data_desc.

  We have 3 DMA channels (tx/rx and command) and each channel has 
multiple
  DMA descriptors. The callback needs to be set for last
  descriptor only for that channel.

  This is nice idea.
  I will change the implementation accordingly.

  prepare_bam_async_desc can be called multiple times since
  each channel can have list of DMA descriptors. We want
  to set callback only for last DMA descriptor in that
  channel.

  CMD desc1 -> Data desc1 -> Data desc2-> CMD desc2 -> CMD desc3

  In the above case, the callback should be set for
  Data desc2 and CMD desc3.

  Thanks,
  Abhishek
