in fact, at_dma_filter() is only used in corresponding
dma_request_channel() in at_dma_xlate() function just below and only in
case of CONFIG_OF.
As the at_dma_xlate() is an empty function in !CONFIG_OF case, the
at_dma_filter() is not needed.

For the use of CONFIG_OF and not CONFIG_OF_DMA, it is simply because it
it the directive that we currently use in drivers when we have to put
the device tree condition around a piece of code. It is quite a common
pattern I think.
Moreover, it is what is used in dw_dmac.c and mv_xor.c...
