I think this is from the days when we didn't have an
arch_setup_dma_ops() to be called from the DT code.

I did placed a WARN_ON() to see who's getting the dummy_dma_ops and it
triggered this call trace:

I need to check whether we break anything by no longer returning
swiotlb_dma_ops.

IIRC, this was required for DT before we had the arch_set_dma_ops()
(though I may be wrong, I haven't checked the logs). The dummy ops were
introduced with ACPI to avoid any default, I think this was related to
the _CCA property.

Why do we still keep the !acpi_disabled check here? If I remove it, the
WARN_ON() above disappears.
