Okay, but how should the code react to the err case, more specifically to
-EINVAL or -ENODATA ? As this property is optional as per the device-tree
description, the current code leaves nb_requestors = 0, as is specified in the
description, and fits the mmp_pdma case.

What do you think should be done ? A warning message ? Something else ?

Cheers.
