something like

static bool fsl_edma_filter_fn(struct dma_chan *chan, void *fn_param)
{
	struct fsl_edma_filter_param *fparam = fn_param;
	struct fsl_edma_chan *fsl_chan = to_fsl_edma_chan(chan);

	if (fsl_chan->edmamux->mux_id != fparam->mux_id)
		return false;
	return true;
}

in thedriver which calls this:

before prep:

	config->slave_id = val;

	dma_set_slave_config(chan, slave);
