When using eDMA3 via dmaengine all dma channels will use the default queue.
Since during request time we do not have means to change this it need to be done
later, before the DMA has been started.
With the added function it is possible to move the channel to a non default
queue if it is possible, otherwise (when only one EQ/TC is available for the CC)
the default queue is going to be used.
For example: For optimal system performance the audio (cyclic) DMA should
be placed to a separate queue which is different than what the rest of the
system is using.
