Yes, if we supply unaligned address, with access width as word, then it gives
error interrupt.

Regarding your point of updating callback for reporting errors,
I think it is required and should be a common issue.

Tasklet does following:
- If any other transfer request is queued up, then it is started
- else, it releases physical channel, by clearing it completely.

Finally it unmap buffers, frees txd, and call callback.

This probably is enough to end transfer for which user was waiting.
If user hasn't used any timeout mechanisms then he will never come
to know that an error occurred. So its better to call its callback,
to tell him, transfer has completed, successfully or unsuccessfully.
