Ok, I see. The correct way to do this then would be to have a filter
function that compares the channel's dmadevice pointer to the one
you get from the of_dma_data pointer. Since you already plan to
change this, and you probably know that there are no other engines
in the system, maybe you can do it like this in the meantime:
/* FIXME: use dma_get_any_slave_chan to avoid the WARN_ON */
if (!chan || WARN_ON(chan->device != dev)) {
dev_err(&pdev->dev, "can't get a dma channel\n");
return NULL;
}
