Please note, that the code above will need a change while
applying to the mainline kernel because of API changes [1].
Unfortunately, current Xen tip kernel tree is v4.17-rc5 based,
so I cannot make the change in this patch now.

The change is trivial and requires:
-of_dma_configure(priv->dma_dev, NULL);
+of_dma_configure(priv->dma_dev, NULL, true);
