I thought these devices to be on the platform bus as the device is of type
'struct platform_device', though I am not sure then why 'of_dma_configure()=
'
is called here. Is this not on platform bus?

I see this API being called indirectly from NXP DPAA device driver which
is for platform bus devices. So I marked 'true' out here. There are more pl=
aces
from where it is being called.
