This restriction was added on purpose and the arm64 __generic_dma_ops()
now has a comment:

	/*
	 * We expect no ISA devices, and all other DMA masters are expected to
	 * have someone call arch_setup_dma_ops at device creation time.
	 */

The commit above also describes why it is dangerous to assume a fallback
to swiotlb ops.

What I don't understand is why of_dma_configure() is not called for a
device with compatible="synopsys,dwc3" in DT (IIUC, you said that you
specify this in DT and of_platform_populate should do the right
configuration).
