Yes it is not valid. In this case the dma driver should invoke a generic memcpy
and not need slave parameters, knowing the hw and reason for this (firmware
download to DSP memory), this doesn't qualify for slave case.
In fact filter function doesn't need a channel, any channel in this
controller will be good
