How is this a h/w property? Why would I not want to always enable DMA if
possible?

Furthermore, you are reusing a property, but giving it a different
meaning. The current definition is an indication whether a DMA
controller supports memcpy operations or not. It is not a flag for
clients to use memcpy channels.

Why don't you use "dmas" property to point to the DMA controller.
