Hi Maxime,

Thank you for the patch.

This is getting too big for an inline function, it should be moved to
drivers/dma/dmaengine.c.

Couldn't we replace that check with if (device->device_control) and get rid of
the generic_slave_caps field ? Drivers converted to the new API would then get
slave caps support for free.
