pdata could use a prefix/suffix

Why can't the core driver library be agnostic. Why do we care if the
device is platform, pci or something else. 
There is nothing in dma API callbacks which driver implements that
warrants it to be some device.

You have already taken care of dma controller accesses be arch
independent so I don't see a reason why this should be done?
