Hi, Daniel
I think we would not run into the situation that there is a descriptor 
with ENDIRQEN set in the middle of the running chain.

in mmp_pdma.c:
mmp_pdma_tx_submit() -> append_pending_queue() ->
tail->desc.dcmd &= ~DCMD_ENDIRQEN;

So in the pending list (same for running list), only the last descriptor 
will have ENDIRQEN set.

Please correct me if any problems.
