So since the use of dma_request_slave_channel() is not upstream,
I guess this will break DMA use (i.e slow down transfers!) on all
device tree boots?

I'd be happy to apply it once the MMCI patch is in linux-next
indicating there may just be a window in the merge period
where it falls back to IRQ mode, but I don't want to disable
DMA on DT boots for an entire kernel cycle just like that.

Not applied as of yet.

Yours,
Linus Walleij
