The edma dmaengine driver will refuse to configure more than 20 paRAM slots (1
for the channel + 19 for the periods). Depending on the SoC we might have
different number of paRAM entries available. The intention with the limit was
to prevent cases when we run out of paRAM entires for other devices because
audio took most of them.

I'd rather keep this here. Since I have the .pcm_hardware the core will ignore
the snd_pcm_hardware.buffer_bytes_max when preallocating and it is in fact
going to go for:
	prealloc_buffer_size = 512 * 1024;
	max_buffer_size = SIZE_MAX;

While I have 128 * 1024 for the snd_pcm_hardware.buffer_bytes_max.

I think as long as I have the .pcm_hardware provided from the edma-pcm driver
I will have the .prealloc_buffer_size as well.

I have missed these in the core. Makes the code simpler for sure.

I forgot about the devm_ version. True, I'll use that instead.
