Grant, Vinod,

Don't you think it would make sense to generalize nr-channels and maybe
also the capabilities properties for other dmaengine drivers?
I have seen other dmaengine drivers taking the number of channels from
platform data so that would make sense.
It would be new dmaengine device tree properties, but on the other hand,
I do not know if code can also be centralized for handling of those
properties... maybe it is better to let drivers deal with them if
required...

We already having this discussion and how to change capabilities etc to
make thing more easy and transparent, See the approaches taken by Jassi
and Linus W
