Looks great to me.

Acked-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de>

but see my comments about the dma_get_any_slave_channel. If we want to merge
that function with the existing dma_get_slave_channel function (and change
the three existing users of that one), one line here will of course have
to change.

Also, one (long-running, not just for this driver) comment I have is
about this snippet:

We really need to be better at having a common set of rules regarding what
it actually means to set the slave_id through dma_slave_config(). IMHO
we should just treat it as a bug for any dmaengine driver that is configured
through DT, or we should get rid of this entirely. Looking through the
code now, I only see two dmaengine drivers that actually do this: one is 
the tegra driver (which you are about to change), the other one is shdma,
and that one is already a bit special. Any ideas?
