One remaining design issue is on how and where to place the filter related
variables/pointers:

Keep it separated as it was in the RFC and v01 series:

struct dma_slave_map {
const char *devname;
const char *slave;
void *param;
};

struct dma_filter {
dma_filter_fn fn;
int mapcnt;
const struct dma_slave_map *map;
};


struct dma_device {
...
struct dma_filter filter;
...
};

Or to have them under the dma_device directly:

struct dma_device {
...
int filter_mapcnt;
const struct dma_slave_map *filter_map;
...
dma_filter_fn filter_fn;
...
};

Vinod: what is your preference for this?

Thanks,
Péter
