    Then I guess we're left with adding a "struct device *dma_dev" to struct
    dwc3 and trying to figure out if we should use parent or self. Does
    anybody see any problems with that?

    Note, we would NOT be passing device pointers are platform_data, we
    would have dwc3.ko figure out if it should use self or its parent device
    for dma.
