[PATCH 2/2] dma: of: allow for non-existent #dma-cells property

From: Rob Herring <rob.herring at calxeda.com>

Allow the #dma-cells property to be optional and default to 0. This fixes
a crash on Calxed highbank which has no clients and no #dma-cells property.

Also, the error check was pointless as be32_to_cpup causes a NULL ptr error
first before we get to the error check.
