Hm, that spear_dma_data struct looks pretty much like
snd_dmaengine_dai_dma_data. It's a bit hard to say how it is used exactly
since the receiver of that struct doesn't seem to be upstream. Rajeev, how
is this used? The data in spear_dma_data looks like it should be passed to
the DMA driver via dmaengine_slave_config() rather than while requesting the
channel.
