Agreed on both points. We plan to handle the interrupt gate as
firmware/pre-Linux platform setup for v3, so the upstream DMA driver
will not program it. The v3 I am preparing removes all of this from the
upstream DMA driver:

- the cix,irq-router syscon lookup and the routing write in probe
- the d350_data match data with the route register and mask
- the d350_route_irqs() helper and the resume_noirq hook that re-applied
  the routing after system resume
- the MFD_SYSCON select that this pulled in

What remains in the driver is only the integration of the DMA controller
itself: the clock and the reset, plus the address translation that is
described by the dma-ranges of the parent bus node and applied through
the DMA API. The driver no longer reaches into anything outside its own
node.
