Thanks for taking the ball on that.

That looks pretty good.

My only question to the whole audience who care about that is:
Do we want to enforce the usage of dmaengine and thus add the DT support 
into dmaengine or do we want to go add some infrastructure in DT core 
like it is done here?

To be honest, I'm fine with that approach because OMAP DMA is still not 
using dmaengine. But potentially I can easily add a dummy dmaengine into 
the OMAP DMA driver just to support the OF code if needed.

Nit: I'd rather use dma_req instead of req_nbr that can be understood as 
number of request lines.
