I knew there was some reason I didn't like those virtual DT nodes...

That does seem to be the oddest case. Several of the others are just
non-DT child platform devices. Perhaps we need a "copy the DMA config
from another struct device (or parent struct device)" function to
avoid using a DT function on a non-DT device.

Yes, you are right.

I think of_dma_configure just has to work with the device_node of
either the device or the device parent and dev->of_node is never used
unless the caller sets it.
