Hi Sagar,

Sadly not for foreseeable or borderline never, for few reasons:
- Increasing number of DMA channels without providing hardware DTS
  configuration for that is quite an useless feature,
  and there are 'issues' with me providing DTS for our hardware.
  Cannot say much, but generally won't happen for very long.
- This has lowest priority and doing other projects, won't be able to
  continue within reasonable amount of time.

I will be very glad if you would continue this patch,
as I will not be able to contribute that.

BTW. Adding Maxime to CC, since he will be most interested in this as
newest stmmac maintainer. Apologies for missing you earlier.
