This is a general spec file in our s/w stack, and therefore a change
in it in the driver will cause our driver to be out of sync with our
user-space stack. i.e. the value of DMA_ENUM_MAX will be different in
the driver and in the user-space stack. I don't know if there will be
any consequences but I prefer not to risk it.

In addition, I prefer to have this value present for completeness,
even if the driver doesn't refer to it.
