Only devices are probed, not drivers.

Does it work if there is no DMA channel provided? The bindings do not
mention DMA channels as mandatory.

Also, wouldn't it be more pleasant to use another helper from the DMA
core that returns a proper return code? So we now which one among
-EBUSY, -ENODEV or -EPROBE_DEFER we get?
