How about change the filter_fn to follow:
static bool fsl_edma_filter_fn(struct dma_chan *chan, void *fn_param)
{
        struct fsl_edma_filter_param *fparam = fn_param;
        struct fsl_edma_chan *fsl_chan = to_fsl_edma_chan(chan);
        unsigned char val;

        if (fsl_chan->edmamux->mux_id != fparam->mux_id)
                return false;

        val = EDMAMUX_CHCFG_ENBL | EDMAMUX_CHCFG_SOURCE(fparam->slot_id);
        fsl_edmamux_config_chan(fsl_chan, val);
        return true;
}
In fact the slot_id isn't need elsewhere, and if the filter return true, 
This channel should be to this request. So no need to save the slave id, Right?
