I looked briefly around in the mentioned code and I wonder how this is going
to work with audio (ASoC).
When we boot with DT it looks like we are _not_ creating the DMA resources for
the device as it is done for the IRQ and IO/MEM. So this means that we can not
use get_resource*() for DMA anymore when we move to DT.
This might be OK for (OMAP)mmc, (OMAP)spi, etc. But in audio we have a common
library used by all platforms to deal with the dmaengine.
I don't think we can switch to use dma_request_slave_channel_compat() in
soc-dmaengine-pcm.c. We need to pass the dma channel number to the lib from
the ASoC platform drivers. Or we need to synchronize the order of the dmas and
the dma-names around all SOCs in existence?

Has anyone thought about this?

CC-ing Mark Brown and Lars-Peter Clausen they might already know the answer to
this.
