Running descriptor pointer is set to NULL upon freeing resources. Other-
wise, rcar_dmac_issue_pending might not start new transfers

This looks good to me, but I wonder if it would make sense to replace the 
list_splice_init() calls with a call to rcar_dmac_chan_reinit() which sets 
desc.running to NULL, and then just process the free list below. Any opinion ?

In the meantime I'll apply your patch to my tree as it's clearly a bug fix and 
will send a pull request.
