The binding looks sensible to me now, but I have a couple of (hopefully
final) questions on the probe failure path.

Do you not need calls to of_dma_controller_free and
dma_async_device_unregister here? I'm not all that familiar with the DMA
API, so maybe you don't.

Similarly, do you not need to call of_dma_controller free here?

Thanks,
