Thanks for your patch, which is now commit 17ce252266c7f016
("dmaengine: xilinx: xdma: Add xilinx xdma driver") in dmaengine/next.

No platform dependencies at all, while this is a platform driver that
relies on some other not-yet-existing driver creating an "xdma"
platform device?

Platform data? No DT?
Do we still accept plain platform drivers?

This table is not needed, as the single entry matches driver.name below.
