This should be a function of the async_tx_find_channel implementation.
The default version tries to keep a chain of operations on one
channel.
struct dma_chan *
__async_tx_find_channel(struct dma_async_tx_descriptor *depend_tx,
enum dma_transaction_type tx_type)
{
/* see if we can keep the chain on one channel */
if (depend_tx &&
dma_has_cap(tx_type, depend_tx->chan->device->cap_mask))
return depend_tx->chan;
return dma_find_channel(tx_type);
}
