FYI, if the EDMA_CTRL_CHAN above is just the evtmux registers, those
can be handled with the pinctrl framework. It seems that would allow
leaving out some of the built-in look up data, and have the mux parts
handled by a proper device driver. Below is a sample from the dm81xx
platform for reference.

SoC dtsi file:

evtmux: pinmux at f90 {
	compatible = "pinctrl-single";
	reg = <0xf90 0x40>;
	#address-cells = <1>;
	#size-cells = <0>;
	pinctrl-single,register-width = <8>;
	pinctrl-single,function-mask = <0x1f>;
};

Board specific dts file:

&evtmux {
	sd2_edma_pins: pinmux_sd2_edma_pins {
	pinctrl-single,pins = <
		8 1     /* use SDTXEVT1 for EDMA instead of MCASP0TX */
		9 2     /* use SDRXEVT1 for EDMA instead of MCASP0RX */
		>;
	};
};

Dynamic muxing of these channels can be done too using the pinctrl
framework named modes, but probably is not a good idea in the case of
SD card and MaASP in case something goes wrong :)
