Yes, in case of DEV_TO_MEM or MEM_TO_DEV.

But in DEV_TO_DEV?
If we have two peripherals, both needs config:
p1_config and p2_config

What and how would one use the single peripheral_config?

If only one of them needs config, then sure, the driver can pin-point
which one the single config might apply to.

Or you chain the same type of peripheral and you would need different
config for tx and rx?
