Now not all DMA paremters configured properly for "xhci-hcd" platform

configuration. As result, this will cause problems like wrong DMA
addresses translation on platforms with LPAE enabled like Keystone 2.

When platform is using DT boot mode the DMA configuration will be
parsed and applied from DT, so, to fix this issue, reuse
of_dma_configure() API and retrieve DMA configuartion for "xhci-hcd"
from DWC3 device node.

patch is incomplete. You left out non-DT users which might suffer from
the same problem.

Honestly, I don't know how to fix it gracefully for non-DT case.
I can update commit message to mention that this is fix for DT case only.

no, that won't do :-) There are other users for this driver and they are
all "out-of-compliance" when it comes to DMA usage. Apparently, the
desired behavior is to pass correct device to DMA API which the gadget
side is already doing (see below). For the host side, the fix has to be
more involved.

Frankly, I'd prefer that DMA setup could be inherited from parent
device, then it wouldn't really matter and a bunch of this could be
simplified. Some sort of dma_inherit(struct device *dev, struct device
*parent) would go a long way, IMHO.

I would be in favour of a dma_inherit() function as well. We could hack
something up in the arch code (like below) but I would rather prefer an
explicit dma_inherit() call by drivers creating such devices.

It's no enough to W/A just dma_ops :(

dma_inherit()...
FYI: http://www.spinics.net/lists/arm-kernel/msg384012.html
Maybe you'll be able to find the way to make it acceptable.
