Sounds like it

New drivers should not have a NULL group->default_domain. 

IMHO this driver does not support the DMA API so the default_domain
should be assigned to blocking and the DMA API disabled. We might need
some core changes to accommodate this.

The alternative would be to implement the identity domain, assuming
the ATU thing can store that kind of translation.
