So, how about this? If it was accepted, I can remove reserved_chan
from txx9dmac driver.

Subject: dmaengine: Use chan_id provided by DMA device driver
From: Atsushi Nemoto <anemo@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

If chan_id was already given by the DMA device driver, use it.
Otherwise assign an incremental number for each channels.

This allows the DMA device driver to reserve some channel ID numbers.
