The idea is that we can auto-discover all the things using the
dma_slave_caps API. Too bad we removed the possibility to specify the
maximum number of segments from the API. Maybe we need to add it back. Is
the 19 a hard-limit or could it be worked around by software in the
dmaengine driver?
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.
The reason why we removed the max_segments field from the slave_caps struct
was because we though it should be possible to, even when the hardware only
supports a fixed amount of segments, emulate support for more in software.
If this is not the case with the edma, we need to bring this field back.
