[Lu Jingchang] 
The HW supports start/stop request from the peripheral dma request, I had planned to add this in future as requested.
I will add this in the next version patch.
Thanks.

[Lu Jingchang] 
Ok, if it is needed, I will add residue calculation in the next version. 
Thanks.

[Lu Jingchang] 
Thanks. I will call the helper function instead.

[Lu Jingchang] 
The private used here is to store the slot_id information, which must be used by the DMAMUX in alloc_chan_resources function. Thanks.

[Lu Jingchang] 
slot_id is the request source id, a peripheral device ID. Each peripheral using DMA has a ID that can be identified by the DMA engine. the peripheral ID must be written to the DMAMUX configuration register to route the peripheral to DMA engine channel. Thanks.
