[PATCH 1/2] DMA ENGINE: Do not reset 'private' of channel

[PATCH 1/2] DMA ENGINE: Do not reset 'private' of channel

[Jassi Brar]

The member 'private' of 'struct dma_chan' is meant for passing
data between client and the controller driver.

The DMA client driver may point it to platform specific stuff after
acquiring the channel. So, it is the responsiblity of the same code
to reset it, if it must.

The DMA engine doesn't set it and hence, shouldn't reset it either.
