That commit description isn't correctly wrapped.

Should we remove that assignment from tegra_dma_abort_all(); perhaps it
is redundant now?

Actually, I wonder if the correct fix isn't to:

a) Always call tegra_dma_terminate_all() from
tegra_dma_free_chan_resources() irrespective of busy state.

b) Make tegra_dma_terminate_all() always call tegra_dma_abort_all()
irrespective of whether list_empty(&tdc->pending_sg_req).

But then I wonder: should tdc->isr_handler get left set to non-NULL in
the scenario mentioned in your commit description at all; should it be
cleared as soon as the channel is idle in all cases, so that it doesn't
need to be cleared when freeing the channel?

I CC'd Laxman, the driver author, to comment here.
