It's currently the amba driver's responsibility to initialize the pointer, dma_parms, for its corresponding struct device. The benefit with this approach allows us to avoid the initialization and to not waste memory for the struct device_dma_parameters, as this can be decided on a case by case basis.

However, it has turned out that this approach is not very practical. Not only does it lead to open coding, but also to real errors. In principle callers of dma_set_max_seg_size() doesn't check the error code, but just assumes it succeeds.

For these reasons, let's do the initialization from the common amba bus at the device registration point. This also follows the way the PCI devices are being managed, see pci_device_add().

Changes in v2: - Move initialization to amba_device_initialize() to be more consistent with how we manage platform devices.
