What is the rationale behind this choice? Seems like the b variant has
two possible implementations and should always be preceded by a more
specific compatible.

As there is currently no description of this controller upstream, I
would not care too much about any out-of-tree description and directly
go for a clean description.

Should DMA props be required?

There is a preferred spacing for DT nodes, see:
https://docs.kernel.org/devicetree/bindings/dts-coding-style.html

These two properties are not needed. Unless there is no hardware ECC
capability on this controller and in this case you need to ensure the
properties are present in the schema.
