The optional 'dmacap,memcpy' DT property tells the Atmel QSPI controller
driver to reserve some DMA channel then to use it to perform DMA
memcpy() during data transfers. This feature relies on the generic
bounce buffer helper from spi-nor.c.

How is this a h/w property? Why would I not want to always enable DMA if 
possible?

Furthermore, you are reusing a property, but giving it a different 
meaning. The current definition is an indication whether a DMA 
controller supports memcpy operations or not. It is not a flag for 
clients to use memcpy channels.

Why don't you use "dmas" property to point to the DMA controller.
