I wonder: why do we need the iommus and dma-coherent properties here?
The I2C controllers are not directly accessing memory, instead it's the
GPCDMA via the dmas/dma-names properties. The GPCDMA already has these
properties set, so they seem to be useless here.

I'm asking because they cause a lot of warnings from the DT validators,
so we either need to remove them (if they are not necessary) or add the
DT binding documentation for them.
