And if they support both? I would think all controllers can support
mem-to-mem. If so, the distinction can be made with the number of requests.

Should be optional. It's only needed when the h/w value is wrong. This
is already documented in primecell.txt.

Perhaps could be a bitmask for sparsely populated requests. May not
matter since phandles will define the connections.

Can be optional and not present means 00 requests (mem-to-mem only).

I like this approach. I looked at this some and some PPC platforms do a
node for each channel/request, but this is much more simple and similar
to clock binding approach.

You need to define the property name. Probably just "dma-channel" is
enough. For peripherals with more than 1, just list them out like when
you have more than 1 interrupt. The order should be defined as part of
that device's binding (i.e. 1st channel is tx and 2nd channel is rx).

Ideally, we will get rid of platform_data completely in the future, so I
don't think filling it in from DT is the right approach.

Can't you use the u32 helper function here?

I don't think the driver should look at this property. This is really
just for the bus code.
