No, the idea is to no longer require a filter function when
we use dma_request_slave_channel with a DT specifier.

This function would be called only by the dmaengine driver's
xlate function. That driver obviously has to ensure that the
channel works for the specification from DT (or ACPI or
something else), but that part is easy, since that is
the same information that we currently pass into the filter
function.
