Hi,

rx_req and tx_req are not used in DT case [1].
dma_request_slave_channel is used to get dma info from mmc dt node.

__dma_request_channel is fallback case for non dt boot.

Note __dma_request_channel is called if dma info is not populated in
dts files.

static inline struct dma_chan
*__dma_request_slave_channel_compat(const dma_cap_mask_t *mask,
				  dma_filter_fn fn, void *fn_param,
				  struct device *dev, char *name)
{
	struct dma_chan *chan;

	chan = dma_request_slave_channel(dev, name);
	if (chan)
		return chan;

	return __dma_request_channel(mask, fn, fn_param);
}
