I would much prefer that you add a parameter to the macro to avoid forcing
a non-flexible and non-obvious variable definition wherever it is used.
What I mean is something like:

#define MPSC_RXRE_SIZE(d)		dma_get_cache_alignment(d)

Similarly for all of the other macros and where they're used.

Thanks,

Mark
