I don't know if I can follow you here. This would lead to non functional setups, eg. one build its own kernel with DMA disabled, but still have a device tree
with the DMA nodes. And besides, the current workaround to request the
DMA channel in startup() is basically working, isn't it? And once the underlying problem is fixed (the infinite EPROBE_DEFER), it could be moved back into
_probe().

I think the user use wrong dtb file. The dtb file doesn't reflect the
real enabled
modules. For such case, there have many problems for syscon,... that
other modules
depends on them.

But the user doesn't use the wrong dtb. I don't consider having the DMA channels in the dtb makes it wrong, just because DMA is not enabled in the kernel. If you'd follow that argument, then the dtb is also wrong if there is for example a crypto device, although the kernel doesn't have support for it enabled.

So we cannot support wrong usage cases, that is my thought.

Thanks,
Andy
