The of_dma_find_controller() can save the requested device node into
dma_spec, and in the of_dma_simple_xlate() function, it will call
dma_request_channel() to request one channel, but it did not validate
the device node to find the corresponding dma device in
dma_request_channel(). So we should in our filter function to validate
the device node with the device node specified by the dma_spec. Hope I
make things clear.
