I'm not sure is it, but, at least, it changed driver behavior for ARC
SDP boards.

Do you have any idea about better way to do it?
Do you suggest to split pdata structure in two different structures?

Could you possibly tell me, why you call this quirks *OS related* ?
For example:
If I know, what DMAC in any chip on any board doesn't support memory-
to-memory transfers, I can disable "is_memcpy" in this board .dts file.
Am I wrong?
