Not really. If the partly initialized case activates the
auto-detection procedure it will override both non-initialized and
_initialized_ number of channels with the values retrieved from the
hardware, which the glue driver has been willing not to use. This
prone to undefined behavior depending on the reasons of skipping the
auto-detection procedure. For instance, assume the DMA_CTRL register
reports an invalid number of read channels. A glue driver by mistake
or willingly overwrites the pci->edma.ll_rd_cnt field only. This won't
solve the problem since the auto-detection will be proceeded due to
the pci->edma.ll_wr_cnt field being left uninitialized.

So to speak it would be better to implement a strictly determined case
for activating the auto-detection procedure: both number of channels
aren't initialized; if only one field is initialized then report an
error.

Alternatively we can have the auto-detection executed on the
per-channel basis:

+	if (pci->edma.mf != EDMA_MF_HDMA_NATIVE) {
+		val = dw_pcie_readl_dma(pci, PCIE_DMA_CTRL);
+
+		if (!pci->edma.ll_wr_cnt)
+			pci->edma.ll_wr_cnt = FIELD_GET(PCIE_DMA_NUM_WR_CHAN, val);
+
+		if (!pci->edma.ll_rd_cnt)
+			pci->edma.ll_rd_cnt = FIELD_GET(PCIE_DMA_NUM_RD_CHAN, val);
+	}
