What is the reasoning behind that? I think if we make both interfaces do the same thing, it's easier to do the migration. > + if (chan) { > + /* Valid channel found */ > + if (!IS_ERR(chan) || PTR_ERR(chan) == -EPROBE_DEFER) > + return chan; > + > + pr_warn("%s: %s DMA request failed, falling back to legacy\n", > + __func__, dev->of_node ?
