That opens up the possibility of passing dma_to_memory = true and
chan_name as "tx" and create an inconsistency.

Do we even need the ->has_dma at all? We can just go ahead and request
the channels at probe time and respond accordingly. If there's no dmas
property in DT, dma_request_slave_channel_reason() returns an error so
we can just deal with it at that time.

So if we get -EPROBE_DEFER we can propagate that, for any other errors
we can simply fallback to PIO. Or perhaps we want to restrict fallback
to PIO for -ENODEV?

I wouldn't want to add an IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_TEGRA20_APB_DMA) in here.
The purpose of these subsystems it to abstract all of that away.
Otherwise we could just as well use custom APIs, if we're tying together
drivers in this way anyway.

I don't think there's a requirement for that. The only dependency we
really have here is the one on the DMA engine API. Since dmaengine.h
already provides dummy implementations, there's really no need for
us to have the dependency. If the DMA engine API is completely disabled,
a call to dma_request_slave_channel_reason() will return -ENODEV and we
should just deal with that the same way we would if there was no "dmas"
property present.
