the TSA is configured statically according to device tree node. 
For " which Timeslot is switched to HDLC channels ", there is a property 
"fsl,tx-timeslot-mask" in device tree to describe it.

The feature you describe is not supported at present.

new QE use UMCC instead of QMC in old QE, we have started to develop UMCC.

The driver is common, but tested on t1040, it is needed to add node to MPC83xx
If you want to test on mpc83xx.
