First of all. What is akida platform you are referring to? I failed to
find any mention in the mainline kernel repo.

Based on the HDMA patches content you are right. The channels must be
pre-enabled in order to have the dw_hdma_v0_core_ch_count() procedure
to work correctly otherwise you'll indeed end up with an empty list of
channels. I don't have any device with the HDMA engine embedded so I
couldn't have possibly tracked that peculiarity on review. Anyway
AFAICS Cai just implemented a method which seemed to work for his
hardware setup.

If you think it doesn't work correctly or it isn't portable enough
then you are free to provide your own implementation of the method and
submit a patch. I hope Cai will be willing to test it out to make sure
that it works correctly for you and his platforms.

As for me if I were on your place I would have implemented a loop
which would walk over all possible HDMA channels (HDMA_V0_MAX_NR_CH)
and counted all channels which could be enabled. If the ch_en CSR is
writable (that is the channel could be enabled) then it shall be
considered as existent. Of course before that I would have made sure
that the non-existent channels had non-writable ch_en CSR.
