In case of PL330 on EXYNOS4 we have two interfaces with SLAVE capability
and one interface with MEMCPY capability.  Could you please explain more
the idea of passing the array of peripherals through DT so we can detect
which interface has MEMCPY capability?

I don't know if getting rid of "struct dma_pl330_platdata" is possible
but we still need to come up with some way to pass the needed information
through DT.  Do you have an idea how it could be done?
