...the ->device_control() method is already approaching an ioctl()
let's just add the argument parameter to complete the capability,
i.e.:

int (*device_control)(struct dma_chan *chan, enum dma_ctrl_cmd cmd,
unsigned long arg);

This might also be useful be useful for the mux case to change that
configuration at runtime.
