Our hardware supports single transfer mode,scatter gather mode & box mode.

we are using these dmaengine API's for our HW
device_prep_memcpy() for single mode.
device_prep_dma_sg() for sg mode.
device_prep_interleaved_dma() for box mode.

We need to pass command configuration parameter to all of the above 
three modes and it can be possible if extra context parameter is added 
into these API's

Thanks
