Address width is configurable parameter at the h/w level.
Since this IP is a soft IP user can create a design with either
32-bit or 64-bit address configuration.
Currently we are reading this configuration through device-tree (xlnx, addr-width property)
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vkoul/slave-dma.git/tree/Documentation/devicetree/bindings/dma/xilinx/xilinx_dma.txt#n19
Based on the h/w configuration setting the dst_addr_widths/src_addr_widths variables in this patch.
Please let me know if you are still not clear with my explanation will explain in detail...
Regards,
Kedar.
