Thanks for these fixlets, I appreciate it.

Now, back to the issue at hand. Does your driver still need direct
control over chan->chan_id, or can it now rely on the fact that
dma_async_device_register() will fail if a channel is not initialized?
Or, just use some platform_data to identify the channel in the same
manner as atmel-mci?
