Thank you for your comment.

I investigaed the issue. I found out the renesas_usbhs driver may
call tx_submit() in the callback() of the dma-simple finally.
In this case, the value of power_up in the simple_tx_submit is 0,
the start_xfer() is not called. And then, even if the ld_queue is
not empty, the DMA doesn't start.


So, if I add codes like the following in the dma-simple.c,
the renesas_usbhs driver can work correctly without the driver changes.
If you think the code is good, would you merge it to your code?
======= chan_irqt() =======
	simple_chan_ld_cleanup(schan, false);

+	spin_lock_irq(&schan->chan_lock);
+	/* Next desc */
+	simple_chan_xfer_ld_queue(schan);
+	spin_unlock_irq(&schan->chan_lock);

	return IRQ_HANDLED;
==============
