I mean allocating hardware channels only when a channel is requested by a client
driver. The dmamux driver could maintain a counter and allocate the channels
sequentially -- then the first 8 calls to cv1800_dmamux_route_allocate() would
succeed and later calls from other devices would fail.

That's important to know. In that case, the driver should probably leave the
registers alone in cv1800_dmamux_free(), and then scan to see if a device is
already mapped to a channel before allocating a new one. (Or it should have some
other way of remembering the mapping.) That way a single client can repeatedly
allocate/free its DMA channel without consuming all of the hardware channels.

I2C/SPI/UART controller drivers generally still work after failing to acquire a
DMA channel. For audio-related drivers, DMA is generally a hard dependency.
If each board has 8 or fewer DMA-capable devices enabled in its DT, there is no
problem. If some board enables more than 8 DMA-capable devices, then it should
use "/delete-property/ dmas;" on the devices that would be least impacted by
missing DMA. Otherwise, which devices get functional DMA depends on driver probe
order.
Normally you wouldn't need to do "/delete-property/ dmas;", because many drivers
only request the DMA channel when actively being used (e.g. userspace has the
TTY/spidev/ALSA device file open), but this doesn't help if you can only assign
each channel once.
