Okay. I imagine the following use case.

For example we have compiled in DMA driver (dw_dmac) along with, for
example, SPI driver.

System was scheduled to go sleep.

An order of calling IIUC might be DMA first, then SPI (since they are
not in parent / child relations).

What was happened when SPI would like to do a DMA transfer and DMA is
going to sleep? I'm trying to understand if this is a case.
