Sorry for asking a trivial question - looking into dma_configure() I see that
PCI is used in the start and the end of the API.
In the end part pci_put_host_bridge_device() is called.
So are two bus callbacks something like 'dma_config_start' &

'dma_config_end'

quoted

will be required where the former one will return "dma_dev"?

I'd just use dma_configure as the callback.

This would be a decent stuff.

Currently the of_dma_configure and acpi_dma_configure are only used
for PCI anyway, as no one else sets a non-NULL dma dev.

My understanding is that even the platform bus uses the of_dma_configure
and probably acpi_dma_configure too. So platform bus may also need the
callback implemented. Please correct me if my understanding is wrong.

I will submit the patch with 'dma_configure' callback implemented for
the busses shortly.

For fsl-mc I suspect only of_dma_configure is relevanet, so just call that directly.
If at some point we get enough busses with either OF or ACPI we could
create a helper called from ->dma_configure for that.

Totally agree with this.

Thanks,
Nipun
