hmm, we have
- DO attempt to make bindings complete even if a driver doesn't support some
  features. For example, if a device has an interrupt, then include the
  'interrupts' property even if the driver is only polled mode.

Shouln't the dma stay there if the hardware supports it? Devicetree
should describe the hardware not the driver if I understood things
right.
