The better reference would be i2c-sh_mobile.c, especially commit
8cfcae9f0595bf0d145a67cfaa1051804a301d7c ("i2c: sh_mobile: use proper
device for mapping DMA memory") ;) The request to use the DMA channel
device came from the DMA folks, so if there is no real reason for an
exception, please use the channel device.
