Unrelated, but I think that meson_irq_handler() needs a small ajustement 
to avoid printing a spurious message if readl() returns 0.

Maybe something like that?:


@@ -33,9 +33,10 @@ static irqreturn_t meson_irq_handler(int irq, void *data)
  				writel_relaxed(0xF, mc->base + ((0x4 + flow) << 2));
  				mc->chanlist[flow].status = 1;
  				complete(&mc->chanlist[flow].complete);
-				return IRQ_HANDLED;
+			} else {
+				dev_err(mc->dev, "%s %d Got irq for flow %d but ctrl is empty\n", 
__func__, irq, flow);
  			}
-			dev_err(mc->dev, "%s %d Got irq for flow %d but ctrl is empty\n",

  		}
  	}
