I had been wondering the same, I'll make it const for the next round.

We would need:
	{ "da830-mmc.0", "rx", (void*)EDMA_CTLR_CHAN(0, 16) },
	{ "da830-mmc.0", "tx", (void*)EDMA_CTLR_CHAN(0, 17) },

as we need to cast the param.
It is still compact, but having to add the (void*) casting makes it a bit ugly.
