There is a way to make the tasklet run and invoke the callback
before the interrupt service routine proceeds? Can you say more
about this?

I was asking about introducing a new flag, not abusing existing
flags. (I don't understand the semantics of DMA_CTRL_ACK.)

(FWIW, both the NFC and the MBUS agent are custom designs,
not third-party IP blocks.)
