DMA port is Intel Thunderbolt 1-3 thing and not expected to found on USB4
routers. The current code should not even be trying to find it, if it does
then that's a bug that should be fixed.

USB4 router firmware upgrades use the standard operations and if those are
not supported then we just don't expose the corresponding NVMem nodes.
