Ok. The driver has now been changed in a way that DMA_MEMCPY
capability is assigned by default to a pl330 dma controller. The
DMA_SLAVE and DMA_CYCLIC capability are assigned if the controller
supports peripheral request interface. For mem-to-mem transfer channel
requests, the filter function specified for the request should check
for the right match.

There could be cases where tx could be polled and rx uses dma transfer
and such this could vary across platforms. This would make parsing the
property value a little complex and so I still perfer to use property
for each dma channel required in the client device nodes.

This has been changed as you suggested. Could you have a look at the
updated patch listed below?


For PL330 dma controllers instantiated from device tree, the channel
lookup is based on phandle of the dma controller and dma request id
specified by the client node. During probe, the private data of each
channel of the controller is set to point to the device node of the
dma controller. The 'chan_id' of the each channel is used as the
dma request id.

Client driver requesting dma channels specify the phandle of the
dma controller and the request id. The pl330 filter function
converts the phandle to the device node pointer and matches that
with channel's private data. If a match is found, the request id
from the client node and the 'chan_id' of the channel is matched.
A channel is found if both the values match.

+* ARM PrimeCell PL330 DMA Controller
+
+The ARM PrimeCell PL330 DMA controller can move blocks of memory contents
+between memory and peripherals or memory to memory.
+
+Required properties:
+  - compatible: should be "arm,primecell".
+  - reg: physical base address of the controller and length of memory mapped
+    region.
+  - interrupts: interrupt number to the cpu.
+
+Example: (from Samsung's Exynos4 processor dtsi file)

+	};
+
+Client drivers (device nodes requiring dma transfers from dev-to-mem or
+mem-to-dev) should specify the DMA channel numbers using a two-value pair
+as shown below.
+
+  [property name]  = <[phandle of the dma controller] [dma request id]>;
+
+      where 'dma request id' is the dma request number which is connected
+      to the client controller.
+
+  Example:  tx-dma-channel = <&pdma0 12>;
