This is because the device-tree DMA support for PL022 has
not yet been merged upstream, so it still has to come from
platform data instead.

If/when there is a branch in ARM SoC that has that patch in place
(and I remember reviewing and ACKing it) I can rebase on that
and drop the platform data.

The same goes for PL011 and MMCI platform data actually...
