It does indeed. That constant gets removed in the following patch
([08/15], "net: macb: move bp->hw_dma_cap flags to bp->caps").
It  appeared to make more sense to remove all HW_DMA_CAP_* at once.
You probably noticed as you continued your review.

Thanks for the review! I guess you have spotted that the series got
applied to netdev/net-next by Jakub [0].
