Yeah DVC FIFO register offset is different. Yes we need to use tegra_i2c_reg_addr which takes care of DVC FIFO address. Will fix it.

Atmel touch is on I2C1 (7000C000). DMA Timeout happened for only 1 transaction for this device and lots of other transfers to this device are fine.
in other log dmitry sent, we see one transfer timeout from 7000D000 and this could be due to FIFO Addresses.
