I agree, but as far as I understand Vinod's plans, we would actually move
all drivers over to dma_request_slave_channel() when we have an interface
to register the lookup tables from platform code.
I think the above is ok for a transitional phase and we can remove the
fallback path when we have converted all platforms using this driver
to either use DT or move to the new style way of passing the channel
configuration.
