As its name suggests, 'dma_hwdesc' points to a DMA hardware descriptor. 
Setting ->next sets the address of the next descriptor (which is itself 
since we only use one descriptor). The 'id' field will be copied by the 
hardware to a register when the DMA descriptor is loaded, so we can 
know from userspace (debugfs) what DMA descriptors are loaded by 
looking up the IDs.
