One remaining design issue is on how and where to place the filter related
variables/pointers:

Keep it separated as it was in the RFC and v01 series:

struct dma_slave_map {
        const char *devname;
        const char *slave;
        void *param;
};

struct dma_filter {
        dma_filter_fn fn;
        int mapcnt;
        const struct dma_slave_map *map;
};


struct dma_device {
	...
	struct dma_filter filter;
	...
};

Or to have them under the dma_device directly:

struct dma_device {
	...
	int filter_mapcnt;
	const struct dma_slave_map *filter_map;
	...
	dma_filter_fn filter_fn;
	...
};

Vinod: what is your preference for this?

Thanks,
