Hi， Vinod

Sorry for delayed response. We checked with Kirin hardware design
team, so far their design strategy is all Kirin SoC series reserve
only from minimum side, saying channel 0, then 1, then 2. That impacts
the current SoC in upstreaming, Kirin960 (Hi3660), and next versions
in Kirin SoC, Kirin970 and 980, which may hit upstream later.

So, since this driver k3dma.c is only used by Kirin SoC DMA
controllers, I would prefer to keep the current design dma_min_chan
unchanged.

What do you think?
