Some complex dmaengine controllers have capability to program the
peripheral device, so pass on the peripheral configuration as part of
dma_slave_config

That is really a good question ;-)

Not I2S, but yes but additional peripherals is always a question

If we want to take that approach, I can actually move the whole logic of
creating the specific TREs from DMA to clients and they pass on TRE
values and driver adds to ring after appending DMA TREs

Question is how should this interface look like? reuse metadata or add a
new API which sets the txn specific data (void pointer and size) to the
txn..

Never underestimate the 'creativity'.

The drawback is that you are tying the driver to a specific DMA with
directly giving the TREs. If the TRE (or other method) is used by a
newer device you need to work on both sides.

It depends which is best for the use case.
I see the metadata useful when you need to send different
metadata/configuration with each transfer.
It can be also useful when you need it seldom, but for your use case and
setup the dma_slave_config extended with

enum dmaengine_peripheral peripheral_type;
void *peripheral_config;

would be a bit more explicit.

I would then deal with the peripheral config in this way:
when the DMA driver's device_config is called, I would take the
parameters and set a flag that the config needs to be processed as it
has changed.
In the next prep_slave_sg() then I would prepare the TREs with the
config and clear the flag that the next transfer does not need the
configuration anymore.

In this way each dmaengine_slave_config() will trigger at the next
prep_slave_sg time configuration update for the peripheral to be
included in the TREs.
The set_config would be internal to the DMA driver, clients just need to
update the configuration when they need to and everything is taken care of.
