Hi Arnd,

Thanks for reviewing.

There is another file st_fdma_xbar.c which will be upstreamed shortly
which uses some parts of this header. It was originally part of the
v1 series here: -
http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-arm-kernel/2015-July/355069.html

But I removed it from subsequent submissions as it needs to be re-worked
to use some of the new xbar functionality recently added by TI.

However large parts probably aren't required by xbar, and could be
moved into the c file, so I will move those parts in the next submission.

Ok will fix in next submission

Ok I will look at using this API instead of dma_request_channel
in the next submission.

I'll drop this in the next submission. There aren't any users I can
see in the private tree. This function is currently only used by
dma_reuest_channel above, so won't be required if we move over to
using dma_get_any_slave_channel().

Peter.
