Yes, a call that would allow us to reset/restart a transfer would be nice.
While we are at it: Another nice addition, which would be good for sound
drivers is a callback, which reports the transfer's current position in the
datastream. This allows us to implement a pointer callback with sub-period
granularity and also allow us to implement the 'no period wakeup' feature. A
lot of DMA controllers support reporting this, but as far as I can see there
is currently no way to export this information using dmaengine.
