I see rationale behind this decision but:
1) How enabled DMA controller hurts other users of the same SDP board
2) That DMA controller exists in SDP anyway - that's not a special flavor of ARC SDP
3) Another defconfig and .dts adds another item for verification while
enabling DW DMA in our current defconfigs allows usage of the same one binaries for
all purposes on ARC SDP.
