I would tend to disagree. The serial driver just uses the generic dma API. The error
message comes from of_dma_request_slave_channel() in drivers/dma/of-dma.c
and is called from dma_request_chan() inn drivers/dma/dmaengine.c.

The first function expects a device tree node and "dmas" and "dma-names" properties.
And "dma-names" is misused as "enable" switch and if not present (aka disabled) it
dumps "dma-names property of node X missing or empty". For me it's clear that
a clean way to disable or enable using dma via dts would be better to tell the
of_dma_request_slave_channel function that dma is disabled on purpose, so it
could return ENODEV but without printing a misleading error level message.

Philipp
