As discussed on the topic of shmobile DMA today, jz4740 is the only

dmaengine API, so we should get rid of it.
Do you have a link to that discussion?
This adds a trivial filter function that uses the filter param to
pass the dma type, and uses that in both drivers.
In my opinion that's just from bad to worse. Using filter functions
isn't that great in the first place. And using them to pass data from
the consumer to the DMA provider is just a horrible abuse of the API.
It seems to me the only sane way to use the dmaengine API is in
conjunction with DT.
At the moment yes. For non DT we need something like the gpiod lookup tables
that allow you to specify the assignment of the DMA channel in the machine
driver.
