Yes, it was intentional actually to not fall back to legacy lookup. With the
dma_request_slave_channel_compat() I have had cases when the DT binding was
not correct - or actually when trying to get deferred working that the code
would fall back to legacy mode and it got me a channel which is not usable.
I did not know that we have platforms booting in DT but the dma binding is not
working so it uses other method to get channel.
I think, if we allow the fall back within dma_request_chan() it would not
cause the same issue as the dma_request_slave_channel_compat() did as long as
we are not providing the lookup table on DT booted cases when the DMA binding
is working correctly.
Let me see the flow, but I think it is doable.
