I'm not sure that Jassi's solution is correct - and I'm wondering whether
any of the DMA engine drivers do the right thing when transfers are
terminated.  Is it right for the DMA status function to return IN_PROGRESS
for a previously submitted cookie which has been terminated?

I can see two answers to that, both equally valid:

1. It allows you to find out exactly where the DMA engine got to before
   the transfer was terminated, and therefore recover from the termination
   if you wish to.

2. Returning in-progress when a cookie will never be completed is
   misleading, and could be misinterpreted by users of the tx_status
   function, especially if they are waiting for a particular transaction
   to complete.

Maybe we need to introduce a DMA_TERMINATED status?

This looks like a merge conflict resolution.  I don't see this being
caused by my patches as I haven't touched this function.

Ditto (my patches don't introduce new this new midc, nor do they remove
that line.)

This was "enum dma_status ret;" before I accidentally removed it.  It
probably should be again, rather than an int.

Hmm, guess that's what happens when old patches are brought forward and
things from the original series are forgotten...
