That would give us drivers that compile but don't work.
Not having stubs is intentional, cfr. the comment at the top of
include/asm-generic/dma-mapping-broken.h:
/* define the dma api to allow compilation but not linking of
* dma dependent code. Code that depends on the dma-mapping
* API needs to set 'depends on HAS_DMA' in its Kconfig
*/
and the comments in the commit that introduced it:
commit 1b0fac45878bb88759eec347c273285195649ff7

dma-mapping: prevent dma dependent code from linking on !HAS_DMA archs
Continuing the work started in 411f0f3edc141a582190d3605cadd1d993abb6df ...
This enables code with a dma path, that compiles away, to build without
requiring additional code factoring. It also prevents code that calls
dma_alloc_coherent and dma_free_coherent from linking whereas previously
the code would hit a BUG() at run time. Finally, it allows archs that set
!HAS_DMA to delete their asm/dma-mapping.h file.
