Each user SDMA request coming into the driver may contain multiple packets.
Each user packet may use multiple SDMA descriptors to fill the send buffer.
The field seqsubmitted in struct user_sdma_request counts the number of
user packets submitted to an SDMA engine. Sometimes, the intermediate count
may not be updated properly. However, once all the packets' descriptors
are successfully submitted to the SDMA engine, the final count is updated
correctly. But, if only some of the packets are submitted to the engine due
to an error, the intermediate count doesn't reflect the partial number of
packets submitted to the SDMA engine. This can cause a hang later in the
code as the count of packets submitted to the SDMA engine doesn't match the
the count of packets processed by the SDMA engine.
