I'll point out that this was introduced by:

commit c9bd0946da243a8eb86b44ff613e2c813f9b683b
Author: Janusz Krzysztofik <jmkrzyszt@gmail.com>
Date:   Tue Jun 5 18:59:57 2018 +0200

    dmaengine: ti: omap-dma: Fix OMAP1510 incorrect residue_granularity
...
    It was verified already before that omap_get_dma_src_pos() from
    arch/arm/plat-omap/dma.c didn't work correctly for OMAP1510 - see
    commit 1bdd7419910c ("ASoC: OMAP: fix OMAP1510 broken PCM pointer
    callback") for details.  Apparently the same applies to its successor,
    omap_dma_get_src_pos() from drivers/dma/ti/omap-dma.c.

So, this now presents us with bigger problems - if we fix it now for
omap_udc, should the above commit be reverted, and if we do revert
the above commit, will it regress OMAP1510 audio.

The intention of omap-dma was always to report an accurate residue.
