legacy behavior can be changed if another 'policy' makes more
sense. IMHO, whatever can be discovered in runtime, should be enabled by
default. That way, we force people to use it and find bugs in certain
features.

I think it should be discovered. Drop all these "*-use-dma" bindings
because they're not needed if you can probe a register to answer the
same question.

Yeah, could be a quirk.
