I really would like to leave them separated and as in the original form, i.e.

	struct dw_dma_slave tx = { .dst_id = 1 };
	struct dw_dma_slave rx = { .src_id = 0 };

those src and dst IDs are put in that form on purpose...

...this comment adds a bit of confusion.
(Needs more time to parse and understand what IDs are in use)

Ditto.

P.S. Just a recommendation for the future: in all your patches try to be less
invasive where it's possible.
