STM32 Timers can support up to 7 dma requests:
4 channels, update, compare and trigger.
Optionally request part, or all dmas from stm32-timers MFD core.
Also, keep reference of device's bus address to allow child drivers to
transfer data from/to device by using dma.

What do you use this for?

This is used in in child driver (pwm) for capture data transfer by dma.

Might be worth being clear about that.

Perhaps pass in 'dma_base' (phys_base + offset) instead?

I guess you've had a look at [PATCH 5/8] pwm: stm32: add capture
support. Are you talking about passing phys_base + TIM_DMAR ?

I have and I am.

If this is the case, I'd prefer to keep phys base only if you don't
mind, and handle TIM_DMAR offset in pwm driver. This way, all dma slave
config is kept locally at one place.
Or do you mean something else ?

Maybe I can add a comment here about this ?
Something like:
/* phys_base to be used by child driver, e.g. DMA burst mode */

I haven't seen the memory map for this device, so it's not easy for me
to comment, but passing in the physical address of the parent MFD into
a child device doesn't quite sit right with me.

At what level does TIM_DMAR sit?  Is it a child (PWM) specific
property, or is it described at parent (Timer) level?
