The audio driver may only interpret the value modulo bytes_requested,
but what about other drivers such as the high-speed UART (and SPI?) drivers?

What is the dmaengine API's design requirement here, and what do other
dmaengine drivers do. If it's to store the modulo, then I'm fine with
this change.
