SubjectRe: [RFC PATCH 03/11] dma: amba-pl08x: Add support for different offset of CONFIG register

I'd suggest doing this a different way. Instead of having to pass around
two pointers everywhere in order to access this register, add to
struct pl08x_phy_chan a void __iomem *reg_config; member, and initialize
that to base + vd->config_offset. Then use ch->reg_cfg instead of
ch->base + PL080_CH_CONFIG.

This has the benefit that you won't have to modify a whole load of
functions to pass another argument, which costs not only an additional
register, but also storage to keep it around.
