DW_PARAMS: 0x38280b0c

DWC_PARAMS[2]: 0x4926d300

Looks like this code based on idea, what if DMA ip-core doesn't have 
LLP support it will not have LLP registers. It is not necessarily true.

Please add this code to read "is_memcpy" and "is_nollp" property 
from device tree.

Wow, you have two masters with number 3 and 4? (Just out of curiosity)

A-ha, seems you have CHx_HC_LLP == 0. That may explain.

Please, make this as a patch and submit either separately, or with your
series mentioning that it has a dependency to my 8250 LPSS series.
