Yes, I still want to control chan->chan_id.

The atmel-mci does not select "channel".  It just pick the first
usable channel of the dma_device specified by platform_data.  I
suppose dw_dmac is symmetric (it can use any channel for any slave).
But TXx9 SoC DMAC channels are hardwired to each peripheral devices.

And I want to call Channel-3 of DMAC-0 "dma0chan3" even if Channel-2
was assigned to for public memcpy channel.
