Subject: [PATCH v7 13/19] dmaengine: tegra-apb: Don't stop cyclic DMA in a case of error condition

There is no harm in keeping DMA active in the case of error condition,
which should never happen in practice anyways. This will become useful
for the next patch, which will keep RPM enabled only during of DMA
transfer, and thus, it will be much nicer if cyclic DMA handler could
not touch the DMA-enable state.

While we are at it, a more descriptive error message could be good here.
I believe that this condition would indicate a potential underrun condition.

I am wondering if we need to check this here? I assume that the transfer
count would still reflect the amount of data transferred, even if some
was dropped. We will never know how much data was lost.

Yes, this error indicates the underrun and indeed the error message
could be improved. I'll change it in v8.

I'm wondering too.. stopping DMA in a error case removes this ambiguity
and that's why in my previous answer to v6 I suggested to drop this patch.

Do you think it's worth to keep this patch?
