Thanks for the patch.

Your SoB is missing in this and the other patches of this series.

Wouldn't it be easier to change the type of chan->desc_size to size_t? Maybe
we could also just calculate the size of the descriptor pool during probe() to
make the code more readable?

I also noticed that there is the ZYNQMP_DMA_DESC_SIZE() macro, which is
inconsistently used in the driver. Maybe you could cleanup this as well as you
are at it?

With a pre-calculated descriptor pool size, recalculating the size here
wouldn't be necessary anymore.
