Why does this have to be added here?  Shouldn't the platform-specific
code handle it instead?

The whole code added here is pretty generic.  What we need to eventually
do, though is to add a separate dma_device instead of adding more and more
bloat to struct device.

I have no objections for that happening!

I'm pretty sure you agreed to it before in fact.  Now someone just needs
to find the time to do this heavy lifting, where "someone" probably means
me.
