Looks very nice. Just a few details I noticed:

I doubt we are going to see non-DT versions of this driver, so the #ifdef
can just get removed here.

This can now be simplified using the dma_get_any_slave_channel() interface
taht Stephen Warren introduced.

dma_set_mask_and_coherent()

If pdev->dev.of_node isn't set, you didn't get here, so the if() can be removed.
