Hi,

Hm... Do you think it would work as well if we implement this by setting the
callback for the descriptor to NULL? If the callback is NULL there is
nothing to at the end of a transfer/period and the dma engine driver may
choose to disable interrupts. This would also benefit non cyclic transfers
where the callback is NULL and we do not need add the new parameter to
dmaengine_prep_dma_cyclic.
