Yes, DMA device should be used for DMA API because only the DMA device is aware of
how the device connects to the memory. There might be an extra level of address translation
due to a SMMU attached to the DMA device. When serial device pointer device is used
for DMA API, the DMA API will have no clue of the SMMU attached to the DMA device.

If DMA is not attached, this part of code related to dma_engine or DMA API do not
get called. There will not be any DMA operations at all.

I used "master" branch of main linux-next tree as the base.
I will rebase on "tty-next" branch of TTY tree and post again.
