Shouldn't be, that's just the configuration which is optional and not
what we're crashing trying to register, we can mostly configure things
by querying the capabilities of the DMA controller via the dmaengine API
these days. You're removing all the DMA support there so cutting out a
huge segment of the initialization of both this driver and the machine
driver. Other sunxi devices seem to be starting happily in -next so
there's something system dependent here...
