Do we really need a separate 'bus' for those DMA controllers?

IMHO they are not different from the hw perspective from the other
devices available on the SoC. A separate bus is a historical thing, they
work fine when moved directly under the 'soc' node. The separate bus
only mimics the way Linux organizes its drivers. This comment affects
both ARM and ARM64.

Best regards
