Why have the use-dma property at all? You already fall back to PIO mode
if the DMAs are not present, so it's clearly not a requirement to use
DMA.

Why not always try to request he dmas you need? You already have the
fallback logic, the only difference would be changing the dev_err to
better describe the situation:

dev_info(&pdev->dev, "No 'tx' and/or 'rx' DMA(s), using PIO mode\n");

Cheers,
Mark.
