It doesn't make the driver any more portable, but it's now being
more explicit about it. As far as I can tell, this is the best way
to pass data that cannot be expressed through the regular interfaces
in DT and the dmaengine API.

Ideally there would be a generic way to pass this flag, but I couldn't
figure out what this is actually doing, or whether there is a better
way. Maybe Vinod has an idea.

I'll change s/Abuse/Use/ for the moment until I get a definite answer.

I considered that but since it doesn't fit in a normal 80-column
line, it seemed best to do it here.

Yes, good idea. Since this would mean a bug in another driver,
I'll add a WARN_ON() as well to make it clear which driver caused it.
This is what I have now, let me know if you have any further suggestions:

/*
* Use the peripheral_config to indicate that the channel is part
* of a video group. This requires matching use of the custom
* structure in each driver.
*/
pconfig = config->peripheral_config;
if (WARN_ON(config->peripheral_size != 0 &&
config->peripheral_size != sizeof(*pconfig)))
return -EINVAL;

spin_lock_irqsave(&chan->lock, flags);
if (chan->id <= ZYNQMP_DPDMA_VIDEO2 &&
config->peripheral_size == sizeof(*pconfig))
chan->video_group = pconfig->video_group;
spin_unlock_irqrestore(&chan->lock, flags);

return 0;

Thanks,
