[PATCH] dmaengine: tegra-apb: proper default init of channel slave_id

[Shardar Shariff Md]

Initialize default channel slave_id(req_sel) to -1 to avoid
overwriting of slave_id with client data as zero is the
valid slave_id(request_select).

Thanks for the fix. Looking at this a bit more I would prefer that we
keep this a unsigned int and instead of using a negative value. My
reasoning for that is if we make this a signed type, then technically we
should check it is neither less than 0 or greater than the max slave_id
supported. So that said, I think that we should ...

1. In tegra_dma_of_xlate() check to see if the slave_id is greater than
   the maximum slave_id allowed. We should define a
   TEGRA_APBDMA_SLAVE_ID_MAX which we should use in tegra_dma_of_xlate()
   to ensure that the slave_id is valid.
2. Define a TEGRA_APBDMA_SLAVE_ID_INVALID (TEGRA_APBDMA_SLAVEID_MAX +
   1) and set the slave_id to this value in
   tegra_dma_free_chan_resources() and probe(). Then we can simply
   check if the slave_id is equal to this.

This way we can ensure that slave_id is between 0 and the max value
supported and not need to worry about negative values.

Hmmm ... I know that this is how it is today, but is this not an error
condition? In other words, if the slave_id is NOT equal to -1, then
should we return an error? It seems that we could silently ignore the
new slave_id and if it has been already set which seems bad.
