Ignore that suggestion. This is a reasonable way to handle new configuration
functions. You need/want a minimal set of values. If rte_dma_conf grows in size
then the code can add compatability; by requiring a minimum set of values
and then setting the rest to zero.

Something like

static int
ae4dma_dev_configure(struct rte_dma_dev *dev __rte_unused,
                const struct rte_dma_conf *dev_conf,
                size_t conf_sz)
{
        if (conf_sz < sizeof(struct orig_rte_dma_conf))
                return -EINVAL;

        struct rte_dma_conf conf;
        memcpy(&conf, dev_conf, RTE_MIN(conf_sz, sizeof(conf)));
        dev_conf = &conf;

Looking at rte_dma_conf the structure has holes and dmadev lib
doesn't validate undefined flags, so it already has future ABI problems.
