The DT node of a 'pdma' should have the array of indices of
peripherals it caters to (what is currently peri_id of 'struct
dma_pl330_platdata'). The array would be missing in the DT node of
'mdma' since all channels are equal.
During probe if the array, say as property 'peri_map', is missing from
DT node of the dmac, that would imply the dmac is 'mdma' and hence the
pl330.c sets DMA_MEMCPY in its cap_mask. Otherwise the peri_map
implies a 'pdma' and hence SLAVE|CYCLIC is set.

struct dma_pl330_platdata {

As explain above, these two should move to DT node of the dma controller.
dma_cap_mask_t cap_mask;
Should be set in pl330.c : MEMCPY for mdma, SLAVE|CYCLIC for pdma
unsigned mcbuf_sz;
Currently unused and already safe enough default value set in driver.
