It seems a little sad that we still have to use dma_request_channel()
to implement this, when that function will go off searching all channels
and pass them tino the filter, which then has to look for the device node
and match it with each channel. We already know the controller and should
just be able to get a channel for it, although I don't exactly know how
that is done.

Further, your function is almost identical to the of_dma_simple_xlate
function. Can't you use that one instead?
