Probably not. I've seen this register doesn't hold any previous settings (just trash)
after cpdma_ctlr_stop(), actually after last channel is stopped (inside of cpdma_ctlr_stop()).
Then cpdma_ctlr_start() just reset it to 0.

I'm ok if this is static (equally as a bunch of rest in dma_params), no see reason to use other values,
it at least now. But the issue is not only in these two parameters and not only in cpsw_ndo_open().
It touches cpsw_set_channels() also, where ctlr stop/start is present.
In order to not copy cpdma_control_set(cpsw->dma, CPDMA_TX_PRIO_FIXED, 1)...
in all such kind places in eth drivers, better to allow the cpdma to control it's parameters...

The cpdma ctlr register holds a little more parameters (but only two of them are set in cpsw)
Maybe there is reason to save them also. Actually I'd seen this problem when playing with
on/off channel shapers, unfortunately the cpdma ctlr holds this info also, and it was lost
while on/off (but I'm going to restore it in chan_start()).
