Apparently, the XDMA reference was in fact needed, as MGB4
calls some exported symbols from that particular dmaengine
driver:

aarch64-linux-ld: drivers/media/pci/mgb4/mgb4_core.o: in function `init_i2c': mgb4_core.c:(.text+0x3ec): undefined reference to `xdma_get_user_irq'
aarch64-linux-ld: mgb4_core.c:(.text+0x404): undefined reference to `xdma_enable_user_irq'

I couldn't easily figure out what a 'user_irq' is here,
but I wonder if this is the expected way to use the DMA engine
layer. Maybe this should have been a nested irqchip instead,
or it should be encoded in the DMA request specifier?
