Our SoC works with or without DMAMUX. Both binding is allowed. Using only DMA a
ChannelId and request line is part of the binding. Using DMAMUx now the request
line is coming from dma_spec forwards to dma-master as well explained by Peter.
However ChannelID is now given by dma_get_any_slave_channel instead of bindings.
DMAMUX driver has to be aware of this ID to route request line to out DMA
channel. This channel id information is carried on until DMAMUX through
dmaengine_slave_config with a custom API.
Hope it clarifies the need.
