Hmm, as far as I'm aware these are PIO chips with external DMA 
handshaking, rather than actual DMA masters...

..so while the wrong device is still better than no device at all, this 
probably wants lp->txdma->device->dev.

And equivalently for rxdma here. However, given that this all seems only 
relevant to antique ARCH_PXA platforms which are presumably managing to 
work as-is, it's probably not worth tinkering too much. I'd just stick a 
note in the commit message that we're still only making these 
self-consistent with the existing dma_map_single() calls rather than 
necessarily correct.
