It's useful for platform specific devices (like this one should be) but
having to add dependencies for basic kernel APIs like the DMA one is
just making for a lot of noise.  There's plenty of platforms without DMA
that also have no real use for this driver, it's not really a relevant
thing when deciding if the driver might be useful if what you're trying
to do is hide drivers that aren't useful on the platform.
