Do we need to add the following here:
if (ofdma)
break
To ensure that as soon as a successful match is found, the loop exits?
Otherwise, if there are multiple providers for that name, and the first
N are registered but the last isn't, this function will still return
failure.

That probably should be -EPROBE_DEFER?
Although, what about differentiating between "entry not found by
of_dma_match_channel" and "controller not yet probed"?
