Ok, let me try again. SOME device trees indeed have an interrupt
property per channel, but the bindings
(Documentation/powerpc/dts-bindings/fsl/dma.txt) and the probe code in
fsldma.c doesn't require it.

The only minor issues we have is the cosmetic problem of the driver
printing NO_IRQ (E.G. this patch), and the driver calling
free_irq(NO_IRQ) (E.G. the other patch I sent today) in the release
path.
