The longer term plan is to retire dma_request_slave_channel() as well.
With dma_request_chan() deferred probing against DMA drivers is possible
and it also supports legacy boot with dma_slave_map.

At the end we should be left with only dma_request_chan() for slave
channels in the kernel.

It is a small sacrifice, true, but if anyone cares the driver can
support deferred probing with dma_request_chan().
