Those two changes by themselves still look ok, I think but you
still break the non-DT case in this 4/4 patch by changing the
pl330_filter function in an incompatible way. You will still
have to either change the filter_param argument in the
samsung_dmadev_request() function, or provide separate filter
functions, one to be used by samsung_dmadev_request and
one for the pl330_xlate function.

In the long run, I think it would be better to move the slave
drivers away from the samsung_dma wrappers and use
dma_request_slave_channel directly, but that is an independent
discussion.
