I have a feeling you guys are not considering how the patch to implement
this will look like.

How are you expecting dwc3 to pass a pointer to the DMA device from
dwc3.ko to xhci-plat ? platform_data ? That's gonna be horrible :-)

Also, remember that the DMA device for dwc3 is not always
dwc3->dev->parent. It might be dwc3->dev itself. How are you expecting
us to figure that one out ?

I still think dma_inherit() (or something along those lines) is
necessary. Specially when you consider that, as I said previously,
that's pretty much what of_dma_configure() does.

Anyway, I'd really like to see a patch implementing this
hcd->self.dma_dev logic. Consider all the duplication with this
approach, btw. struct dwc3 will *also* need a dwc->dma_dev of its
own. Will that be passed to dwc3 as platform_data from glue layer ? What
about platforms which don't even use a glue layer ?
