Initially, that struct was aimed to have a set of function callbacks that 
would allow being set differently according to the eDMA version. At the 
time it was expected to have multiple cores that would need to execute 
different code sequences.

However, this approach was requested to be postponed on the patch review 
because at that time and even now there isn't an extra core that would 
justify this.

You caught some residue of that initial approach.

Great! That task was on my backlog for a very long time that I wasn't 
able to develop due the lack of time.

You're correct.

I like your approach, it separates the PCIe glue logic from the eDMA 
itself.
I would suggest that pcitest would have multiple options that could be 
triggered, for instance:
 1 - Execute Endpoint DMA (read/write) remotely with Linked List feature 
(from the Root Complex side)
 2 - Execute Endpoint DMA (read/write) remotely without Linked List 
feature (from the Root Complex side)
 3 - Execute Endpoint DMA (read/write) locally with Linked List feature
 4 - Execute Endpoint DMA (read/write) locally without Linked List 
feature

Also, don't forget the DMA has of having multiple channels for reading 
and writing (depending on the design) that can be triggered 
simultaneously.

Relative to the implementation of the options 3 and 4, I wonder if the 
linked list memory space and size could be set through the DT or by the 
configfs available on the pci-epf-test driver.

I would suggest adding dw pointer check as well.

In overall, nice patch, please fix that detail and I'll give my ACK.
