Right, sorry about that. I was assuming that sh_mobile_sdhi is only used on
ARM, which was clearly incorrect.

I think that is a flaw in the dmaengine driver. I don't actually know how
any dma-engine driver could use dmaengine_slave_config to pick the request
line, since that is something the driver should not know at the time
it calls dmaengine_slave_config().

It's probably best to change the shdma driver to just ignore the slave_id
value in slave_config, like most other drivers to. I don't see how that
could possibly work when used from a portable slave driver.
