Yes, looks good. Note that you can save the typecast and just do

	struct device *dma_dev = slave; 
	if (chan->device->dev == dma_dev)
		...

or shorter

	if (chan->device->dev == slave)
		...

or shortest:

	return chan->device->dev == slave;

I find the shorter versions more readable here, but any of these
are correct.
