Just move the contents of that file here, no other driver should
be including it.

The binding mandates #dma-cells=<3>, so you can just return an error
otherwise.

Why this indirection? You should be able to just use
dma_get_any_slave_channel() to get the first available channel and
then configure it the same way that the filter function does.

Please drop this until there is a board file that references the
function. Otherwise it's just dead code. I assume there are some
users in arch/sh/ in a private tree?
