Try to ensure that the driver builds on x86 (possibly adding
further dependencies if needed), then make this

	depends on ARCH_STI || COMPILE_TEST

to get better build coverage.

No need to look at all DMA channels in the system here with
dma_request_channel(). Just call dma_get_any_slave_channel()
to get the first available channel for this engine, then
set the configuration right in that channel data while parsing
the DT properties.
