So we *know* when a new buffer is being used?
IOW would it be possible for display (rather a dmaengine facing display wrapper) to detect that we are reusing an
old buffer and keep the cyclic and once detected prepare a new
descriptor, submit a new one and then terminate old one which should
trigger next transaction to be submitted
Would that make sense here?
