Have you noticed the comment in the code which reads:

/*
 * We don't support DMA_RESUME command because of hardware
 * limitations, so after pausing the channel we cannot restore
 * it to active state. We have to terminate channel and setup
 * DMA transfer again. This pause feature was implemented to
 * allow safely read residue before channel termination.
 */

So driver just stops when in pause.

Now the commit 57e9af7831dc returns when in progress state, so am not
sure how returning Paused would help here?
