Hi Nicholas,

Thank you for the patch.

I'd go one step further and make this function return < 0 on error and 0 on 
success, like usually done through the kernel API. You could then simplify the 
code using something like

        if (!wait_for_completion_timeout(&flctl->dma_complete,
                                         msecs_to_jiffies(3000))) {
                dmaengine_terminate_all(chan);
                dev_err(&flctl->pdev->dev, "wait_for_completion_timeout\n");
                ret = -ETIMEDOUT;
        }

(pre-initializing ret to 0)
