From: Mark Cave-Ayland <mark.cave-ayland@ilande.co.uk>

In the cases where mixed DMA/non-DMA transfers are used or no data is
available, it is possible for the calculated transfer length to be zero.
Only call the dma_memory_write function where the transfer length is
non-zero to avoid invoking the DMA engine for a zero length transfer
which can have side-effects (along with generating additional tracing
noise).
