The driver would build fine without this symbol selected, but since it
relies on availability of DMA, it doesn't make too much sense to build it
this way. This kind of selects makes kernel configuration more user
friendly IMHO.

Possibly adding appropriate selects (PL330) for s5p* and exynos could make
sense.

Best regards,
Tomasz
