Now one parameter can be moved up and positive outcome the split becomes logical
(on a logic boundaries).

You can fix indentation while at it.

And here the last parameter of the previous line can be moved to the next line.

Perhaps you want both (1) and this be consistent, either (1) be rewrapped,
or this one

		dma_free_coherent(dmaengine_get_dma_device(chan), PL011_DMA_BUFFER_SIZE,
				  db->buf, db->dma);

Even original code has broken indentation. What about rewrapping it?

	if ((chan->chan_id == param->chan_id) &&
	    (param->dma_dev == dmaengine_get_dma_device(chan))) {
