Sorry, I spoke too soon here. I now remember checking this while preparing v3
and finding no existing in-tree non-LL peripheral_config user.
I just rechecked the dmaengine remote branches (and also Devendra's recent
submissions just in case), but still could not find one.
Did you have a particular user in mind?
