Can you place a simple one-line comment in here please.  Or else
someone will come along and add error handling for you.

I just mean, can you push the first  dma_request_slave_channel() call
on to the next line, so each of the calls are formatted in the same

Might be worth being clear about that.

Perhaps pass in 'dma_base' (phys_base + offset) instead?
