Hello Vinod!

Thank you for looking into this.

These are internal types used only to distinguish M2P/P2M and M2M
capable controllers in "of_device_id ep93xx_dma_of_ids[]".

So M2P_DMA is M2P/P2M, a can rename M2P_DMA to M2P_P2M_DMA to avoid
confusion.

M2P/P2M channels aren't unidirectional.

Citing "EP9xx User Guide":

"Ten fully independent, programmable DMA controller internal M2P/P2M
channels (5 Tx and 5 Rx)."

We need to return correct channel based on Device Tree provided data,
because we need direction in device_alloc_chan_resources() for hardware
setup before prepping.

May be i am mistaking somewhere.
