Sorry missed that one, I would do that after submit cyclic2 txn step and
then signal signal_cyclic1_txn termination

Correct

Typically for dmaengine controller cyclic is *not* a special mode, only
change is that a list provided to controller is circular.

So, the .terminate_cookie() should be a feature for all type of txn's.
If for some reason (dont discount what hw designers can do) a controller
supports this for some specific type(s), then they should return
-ENOTSUPP for cookies that do not support and let the caller know.
