No, I do not.

I wrote this driver, but the hardware-internal is not fully documented
in the datasheet.
I can see the functionality only from the software point of view.

To my best knowledge, this DMA engine is connected to a 32-bit bus.
So, 4 bytes are read/written at a time.

This HW allows to set the transfer size by byte granularity.
So, it would be possible to access the data bus
by 1-byte, 2-bytes, 3-bytes as well.

I will set the OR of 1, 2, 3, 4 bytes.

Also, need to free up the left-over descriptor(s) right?
Just killing the tasklets may result in memory leak.

Please let know if the implementation in v4 is wrong.
