What you see is dma-channels which is the newer properties. We removed
the deprecated ones named '#dma-channels'

See the original txt file:

-- dma-requests : Number of DMA requests supported.
-- #dma-requests : deprecated

Funny or not there were two properties with similar names the only difference
was the '#' at the beginning.

We removed the deprecated property named '#dma-requests'.

No, this is not deprecated.

The property starting with '#' is deprecated and we removed it from
the yaml file.

For example you can look at this commit:

    dt-bindings: dmaengine: mmp: deprecate '#dma-channels' and '#dma-requests'

    The generic properties, used in most of the drivers and defined in
    generic dma-common DT bindings, are 'dma-channels' and 'dma-requests'.
