You also added a get_id callback here...

... and will return -1 if not populated, which essentially means that
instead of having 0 or 1, we're now having -1 as our id.

This is a regression, and I'm even wondering if we can't just store
the ID in the sunxi_engine structure. Is anything preventing us to do
that, instead of using a callback?
