Are you talking about channels or DMA request lines? For channels yes,
we can always allocate channels as they are independent of peripherals.
About request lines, they are muxed in our case between several
peripherals, but support for that has to be added in dw_dmac.
SPI is not as much heavily used as uart. So, it might be fine there to
allocate channels dynamically.
