This is a general purpose dma and provides more flexibility to the
user for configuring the
descriptor, data and bus parameters. one way is as you said these
parameters can be
configured at runtime but i didn't find a way configuring the channel
at runtime for mem to
mem transfers. I have checked the  device_config function description
and it is strictly
meant for slave operations only. So, i didn't see anything wrong
having these parameter values
from the device tree as these all are hw parameters.
