From: Barry Song <redacted>

move to support of_dma_request_slave_channel() and dma_request_slave_channel.
we add a xlate() to let dma clients be able to find right dma_chan by generic
"dmas" properties in dts.

Look okay, need an ACk from DT maintainers before I can apply...

Hi Vinod,
v5 is sent to devicetree list and there is no object.
http://www.spinics.net/lists/devicetree/msg19677.html
this patch is using general dt-binding for dma completely same with
other dma drivers, there is no special binding here.
so i think there is no reason to wait for merging since now updates
for its clients e.g. SPI, UART have been in 3.14-rc.

I still need the ack for DT folks... Seems still missing :(

Vinod, it seems nobody in dt has noticed this change since there is
not a real change for DT binding. if we need an ack for every normal
change in dt, the maintain chain might be easily broken.it seems it is
not always a good practice?
