Thanks.

Actually today I found another way of doing this, which wouldn't require 
checking PL08X_IS_PL080S flag at all.

Simply masking the transfer size in pl08x_cctl_bits() with mask of the 
original bitfield would be enough I think, as writes to those bits seem to 
be ignored on PL080S.

Best regards,
Tomasz
