In design, if AXI DMA is connected to AXI Ethernet IP there are certain
AXI4-Stream Status fields (RX) that we need to pass to ethernet driver
along with data buffer. An example includes: checksum fields, packet
length etc. To pass these control words there is a structure defined
between dmaengine and client. Before calling the client callback
stream control words are copied to dma client callback_param struct
(only if axieth is connected).

I understand it's not an ideal way and we shouldn't be interpreting
callback_param but couldn't find any better alternative of passing
custom information from dmaengine to client driver and still be
aligned to the framework.

As mentioned above we need to pass AXI4-stream words(custom
data) from dmaengine driver to dma client driver(ethernet) for
each DMA descriptor. Current solution populates callback_param
struct (only if axieth is connected). Please let me know if there is
an alternate solution.
