Sounds good. I think we can assume that DMA_SLAVE_BUSWIDTH_1_BYTE = 1, ...
So (addr_width & BIT(bits / 8)) should work fine and we do not need to 
duplicate the case branches.

The other thing is this should go into dmaengine_pcm_set_runtime_hwparams() 
where we also restrict the other hardware parameters based on the dmaengine 
capabilities.
