Yes for genric but not for loop. For most of our cases we are considering the
FIFO address as a constant. Typically DMA controllers have this ability to
perform incremental/decremental/constant FIFO address.

What would make sense to have is:

enum dmaengine_slave_addr_mode {
	DMAENGINE_SLAVE_ADDR_CONSTANT = 0,
	DMAENGINE_SLAVE_ADDR_INCREMANT,
	DMAENGINE_SLAVE_ADDR_DECREMENT,
};

and add these to struct dma_slave_config:
	enum dmaengine_slave_addr_mode src_mode;
	enum dmaengine_slave_addr_mode dstn_mode;

For loopover we can have:
	u32 loop_counter;

on 0 means no loop, and valid value tells when to loopover (offset).

will this help for all of the above controllers and their conversion?
