I would suggest you add the test driver into the main dmaengine driver file directly then, so you don't need to export the symbols. If there are important reasons to keep that as separate files, just move the header to the drivers/dma/ directory and add the test driver there.

Sorry I forgot to mention the below things in the mail .The Config API's and structures not only used by the dmaengine driver's but also used by the  various IP's  (Ex: Ethernet driver and SRIO driver these drivers are under development).For example the Ethernet driver is resides under drivers/net/ethernet but it needs to set some specific configuration parameters of the dma that's why created a separate header file for the h/w configurable parameters.
