dmaengine: qcom-bam: Process multiple pending descriptors
The bam dmaengine has a circular FIFO to which we add hw descriptors that describes the transaction. The FIFO has space for about 4096 hw descriptors. Currently we add one descriptor and wait for it to complete with interrupt and then add the next pending descriptor. In this way, the FIFO is underutilized since only one descriptor is processed at a time, although there is space in FIFO for the BAM to process more. Instead keep adding descriptors to FIFO till its full, that allows BAM to continue to work on the next descriptor immediately after signalling completion interrupt for the previous descriptor. Also when the client has not set the DMA_PREP_INTERRUPT for a descriptor, then do not configure BAM to trigger a interrupt upon completion of that descriptor. This way we get a interrupt only for the descriptor for which DMA_PREP_INTERRUPT was requested and there signal completion of all the previous completed descriptors. So we still do callbacks for all requested descriptors, but just that the number of interrupts are reduced.
