Hi Vinod,

The configuration is needed by both ADMA and ADMAIF. The size is
configurable
on ADMAIF side. ADMA needs to know this info and program accordingly.
Not sure if dma_router can help to achieve this.

I checked on dma_router. It would have been useful when a configuration
exported
via ADMA, had to be applied to ADMAIF. Please correct me if I am wrong here.
