Great that you got it working w/o a custom API!
I have one comment, which actually valid for the ti-dma-crossbar driver
as well...

you pick the first available chan_id here under the lock.

But nothing stops other parallel threads to pick the same chan_id since
you have released the lock (released, got the lock to protect the set
dma request and released it again). imho the find_first_zero_bit() and
the set_bit() should be done within the same lock to avoid race conditions.
