  Do you mean the DMA_SLAVE_CONFIG device_control? Yeah, the slave

the slave_id. But the DMA_SLAVE_CONFIG may be called more than once,

and the eDMA

driver just needs to set the slave id once for any given channel, after

that the

transfer is transparent to the device.

It depends, for a channel requested, if you are only tranferring to a
particular
slave device then it can be confugured once.
so
1. allocate channel
2. dmaengine_slave_config()

then you cnan do preare etc multiple times based on need.

 But if the preferred slave id configuration should be in dmaengine_slave_config,
I will send out this change in the next version patch.
Thanks!
