Yes my guess is that PM runtime breaks with these currently..

Ideally the adma support would be a separate loadable module,
similar how the cppi41dma is a child of the OTG controller.

That way the systems wanting to use adma can just specify it
in the binding, and adma PM runtime support can be added later
on.

Of course this won't work if the adma registers are sprinkled
within the MMC controller registers..
