Ok.

DW DMAC driver supports only three directions:
	dw->dma.directions = BIT(DMA_DEV_TO_MEM) | BIT(DMA_MEM_TO_DEV) |
			     BIT(DMA_MEM_TO_MEM);
so in this case the else-clause is intended to be taken for the
DMA_MEM_TO_MEM transfers only.

Value is in signifying that DMA_MEM_TO_MEM is implied by the else
clause. If in some future point we have DMA_DEV_TO_DEV support added
to the driver, then the if-else statement must be aligned
respectively.

Ok.

Alas I can't. Because the addr-width is the non-memory peripheral
setting. We can't change it since the client drivers calculate it on
the application-specific basis (CSR widths, transfer length, etc). So
we must make sure that the specified value is supported.

Right, the driver uses both variants (see of.c, platform.c, pci.c too).

To be honest I'd prefer to use the "ret" name instead. It better
describes the variable usage context (Although the statements like "if
(err) ..." look a bit more readable). So I'd rather convert the "err"
vars to "ret". What do you think?
