What I mean is that from a reviewers perspective of this patch, you
added a new #define that is not used anywhere in this patch.  a #define
should be added along with any users of it.

That being said, the number of channels of the DMA IP sounds like
something that should indeed be associated with the hwmod as it is a
fixed HW feature.
