Hmm, in this case there is no need to check for uninitialized channels count:

	/*
	 * Autodetect the read/write channels count only for non-HDMA platforms.
	 * HDMA platforms doesn't support autodetect, so the glue drivers should've
	 * passed the valid count already. If not, the below sanity check will
	 * catch it.
	 */
	if (pci->edma.mf != EDMA_MF_HDMA_NATIVE) {
		val = dw_pcie_readl_dma(pci, PCIE_DMA_CTRL);

		pci->edma.ll_wr_cnt = FIELD_GET(PCIE_DMA_NUM_WR_CHAN, val);
		pci->edma.ll_rd_cnt = FIELD_GET(PCIE_DMA_NUM_RD_CHAN, val);
	}

	/* Sanity check */
