Ah, then there is another todo for this driver. Move from chan->private
to DMA_SLAVE_CONFIG.

struct dma_slave_config has dedicated fields for both source and
destination widths, src_addr_width & dst_addr_width please use them...
You should pass this structure to device control API as:
dmaengine_device_control(
chan, DMA_SLAVE_CONFIG, (unsigned long)&slave_config);
