+Subject: [PATCH] dmaengine: bcm2835: Fix cyclic DMA period splitting
+
+The code responsible for splitting periods into chunks that
+can be handled by the DMA controller missed to update total_len,
+the number of bytes processed in the current period, when there
+are more chunks to follow.
+
+Therefore total_len was stuck at 0 and the code didn't work at all.
+This resulted in a wrong control block layout and audio issues because
+the cyclic DMA callback wasn't executing on period boundaries.
+
+Fix this by adding the missing total_len update.
