The filter id function assumes that the channel passed in is a
coh901318 which requires that you are in a mach-u300 build and that no
other dma driver will ever appear on this platform.  Which may be
true, but it would be safer to look at
chan->device->dev->platform_data and deduce that it is indeed a
coh901318 channel before de-referencing private fields.  Taken further
if you rewrite the filter_id function in terms of platform_data then
it could live purely in the arch code and not depend on the driver.

...or did you already try this route and hit a snag?
