I will move such prepare jobs from slave_config to device_prep_dma_memcpy
Instead of device_alloc_chan_resources as I did in v1, thus we have no 'chan->private'
issue, just like drivers/dma/stm32-mdma.c. The only limitation is those prepare jobs
(some register setting) will be done every time memcpy instead of only one time in slave_config
or v1 case. Is that ok?
