Instead of doing heuristics to guess whether we are doing memcpy you
could instead make memcpy the default when slave_config is not called,
i.e. drop the if (!data) check completely.

The problem seems to be that we do not know whether we are doing memcpy
or not. Normally we get the information how a channel is to be
configured in dma_device->device_config, but this function is not called
in the memcpy case.

An alternative might also be to do the setup in dma_device->device_prep_dma_memcpy.
