Yes, extended comment is a good idea.

For the next version I think I'm going to change the code around default
TC/Queue and the non default queue selection, mostly based on Joel's comment:

EVENTQ_1 as default queue.
Set the EVENTQ_1 priority to 7
EVENTQ_0 priority is going to stay 0 and EVENTQ_2 as 2

Add new member to struct edma, like high_pri_queue.
When we set the queue priorities in edma_probe() we look for the highest
priority queue and save the number in high_pri_queue.

I will rename the edma_request_non_default_queue() to
edma_request_high_pri_queue() and it will assign the channel to the high
priority queue.

I think this way it is going to be more explicit and IMHO a bit more safer in
a sense the we are going to get high priority when we ask for it.
