For example this causes boot failure on QEMU ARMv7 (Exynos4210, SMDKC210): [    1.302575] OF: amba_device_add() failed (-19) for /amba/pdma@12680000 ... [   11.435732] samsung-uart 13800000.serial: DMA request failed [   72.963893] samsung-uart 13800000.serial: DMA request failed [   73.143361] Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init! exitcode=0x00000000 DMA is not necessary for serial to work, so continue with UART startup after emitting a warning.
