Much better!

Just as a minor enhancement you could change xgene_dma_encode_len()
to already return a u64 type with the shift applied.

Same here, if you define XGENE_DMA_INVALID_LEN_CODE as

#define XGENE_DMA_INVALID_LEN_CODE	0x7800000000000000ul

it directly matches what one would find in the data sheet, and
also simplifies this function.
