Sry, but seems i can't, at least i can't just drop swlen.

Below in this function:
	writel_relaxed(0, &desc->hw_next);
	writel_relaxed(buffer, &desc->hw_buffer);
	writel_relaxed(len, &desc->hw_len);
	writel_relaxed(mode | len, &desc->hw_mode);
^^ here the "len" should be use

	writel_relaxed((uintptr_t)si->token, &desc->sw_token);
	writel_relaxed(buffer, &desc->sw_buffer);
	writel_relaxed(swlen, &desc->sw_len);
^^ and here "len"|CPDMA_DMA_EXT_MAP if (si->data_dma) [1]

	desc_read(desc, sw_len);

so additional if statement has to be added at [1] if "swlen" is dropped
