This reverts commit fe5b85c656bc. The SDMA engine needs the descriptors to
be contiguous in memory. As the dma pool API is only able to provide a
single descriptor per alloc invocation there is no guarantee that multiple
descriptors satisfy this requirement. Also the code in question is broken
as it only allocates memory for a single descriptor, without looking at the
number of descriptors required for the transfer, leading to out-of-bounds
accesses when the descriptors are written.
