Ah, right: you still export a filter function from the edma driver
and use it in slave drivers:

drivers/mmc/host/davinci_mmc.c:         dma_request_slave_channel_compat(mask, edma_filter_fn,
drivers/mmc/host/davinci_mmc.c:         dma_request_slave_channel_compat(mask, edma_filter_fn,
drivers/spi/spi-davinci.c:      dspi->dma_rx = dma_request_channel(mask, edma_filter_fn,
drivers/spi/spi-davinci.c:      dspi->dma_tx = dma_request_channel(mask, edma_filter_fn,

As long as this is the case, you have to be careful with the dependencies
to make sure that davinci_mmc and spi-davinci either depend on TI_EDMA, or
edma_filter_fn gets defined to NULL when you are building for a DT-only platform.
