I don't think using of_dma_filter_info makes sense when we are not
using the generic xlate function:

You already know the value of info->filter_fn, it's always &mxs_dma_filter_fn,
so if you reorder these two functions, you can pass it directly into
dma_request_channel.

It would be nice if we could just get a pointer to the right channel
structure from the xlate() function, rather than having to walk the
list of channels and trying each one. Your method is what everyone
else is doing as well, so we can stick with it for now, but at some
point I'd like to open up this discussion again.
