drivers: flag buses which demand DMA configuration
We do not want the common dma_configure() pathway to apply indiscriminately to all devices, since there are plenty of buses which do not have DMA capability, and if their child devices were used for DMA API calls it would only be indicative of a driver bug. However, there are a number of buses for which DMA is implicitly expected even when not described by firmware - those we whitelist with an automatic opt-in to dma_configure(), assuming that the DMA address space and the physical address space are equivalent if not otherwise specified. Commit 723288836628 ("of: restrict DMA configuration") introduced a short-term fix by comparing explicit bus types, but this approach is far from pretty, doesn't scale well, and fails to cope at all with bus drivers which may be built as modules, like host1x. Let's refine things by making that opt-in a property of the bus type, which neatly addresses those problems and lets the decision of whether firmware description of DMA capability should be optional or mandatory stay internal to the bus drivers themselves.
