It's just a sanity check that the DT is well-formed.

Since the dma-coherent property is interpreted by common code, it's
not up to hv to change the default for the platform. I'm not sure
if the presence of CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_SYNC_DMA_* options is the correct
check to determine that an architecture defaults to noncoherent
though, as the function may be needed to do something else.

The global "dma_default_coherent' may be a better thing to check
for. This is e.g. set on powerpc64, riscv and on specific mips
platforms, but it's never set on arm64 as far as I can tell.
