dmaengine_slave_config() should be used to send the slave specfic

It seems hard to set the registers by the

dmaengine_slave_config().

[1] firstly, there are several drivers use the mxs-dma, the gpmi-nand, mxs-mmc,spi-mxs, i2c-mxs.
       If we set the registers by the dmaengine_slave_config(), we must have the register base address for gpmi, mxs, spi, i2c.
     It's not a good idea to access these registers in the mxs-dma driver.

[2] secondly, take gpmi_read_page() for example, it uses the DMA_TRANS_NONE several times :
    If we set the registers by the dmaengine_slave_config(), the gpmi_read_page() will become like:
    .....................................
    dmaengine_slave_config()
    dmaengine_prep_slave_sg().
    ...................................

    dmaengine_slave_config()
    dmaengine_prep_slave_sg().
    ...................................

     dmaengine_slave_config()
     dmaengine_prep_slave_sg().
    ...................................

    Is it a nice look?

 [3] dma_slave_config{} does not have the fields to contain the registers value.


So I think the  current code it's ok, we'd better do not change it.

thanks
