dmaengine: at_hdmac: pause: no need to wait for FIFO empty
With the addition of the "pause" feature, an active wait was introduced to check the "FIFO empty" event. This event was not always happening and a timout contition was needed. But, in some cases, this event depend on the peripheral connected to the channel that is paused: FIFO becomes empty if the peripheral consumes data. The timeout is pretty difficult to evaluate. Moreover, this check is not needed. In conclusion, it seems sensible to entirely remove the checking of "FIFO empty" status when pausing.
