The current sata_dwc driver calls dw_dma_probe() with null pdata which
causes the dw_dma driver to auto-detect most parameters.  It looks like
simply omitting those properties here results in the same thing,
although in this case dw_dma_parse_dt() leaves a devm-allocated pdata
struct adrift.  Deferring the allocation of that and changing the DT
binding doc to make these properties optional for auto-detect-capable
hardware should just work.  Something like this:
