Yes, I think this looks fine. Sorry for the slow response; I was on
vacation.

One question though: Laxman mentioned that DMA clients were responsible
for suspending their DMA accesses themselves. Does the dmaengine core
define the semantics here; are DMA drivers supposed to handle suspend
with active DMAs, or should DMA clients suspend their DMA accesses
themselves as Laxman suggests? If the latter, I wonder if we actually
need to save/restore all the registers, since after resume, a new DMA
access would be started in all cases, which would then reprogram the HW.
