Hmm I wonder if there's a more generic solution to this?

It would be also nice to be able to specify the use of DMA from
the board specific .dts file.

Also, with DMA enabled, looks like omap deeper idle states are
blocked as the DMA stays reserved. After I commented out the
DMA info for my console UART, PM started working.
