This looks unnecessarily complex.

Why not just do dma_request_slave_channel_compat() unconditionally here?
It's not an error for MMCI if that fails. If you want to keep the warning
in the case dma_rx_channel is provided by not working, you can do it like

	host->dma_rx_channel = dma_request_slave_channel(dev, "rx");
	if (!host->dma_rx_channel && plat->dma_rx_param) {
		host->dma_rx_channel = dma_request_channel(mask,
							   plat->dma_filter,
							   plat->dma_rx_param);
		...
	}
