Its just because none of the platforms under heavy development use two
controllers. Joel promised to work on it at some point ;)

I can help testing (and even with writing the DaVinci platform specific
patches).

Okay. I did not notice the n_tc hardcoding. In that case to make this
function usable on non-DT case we will have to do something like:

	/* Default to 1 if nothing passed */
	if (!pdata->n_cc)
		pdata->n_cc = 1;

	if (!pdata->queue_priority_mapping) {
		queue_priority_map = devm_kzalloc(...)
	}

I was hoping we could avoid that.

Right.

Thanks.
