In kernel 6.2, only two platforms use this DMA controller (see 'arch/arc/boot/dts/hsdk.dts' and 'arch/riscv/boot/dts/canaan/k210.dtsi').
There is one reset on k210, while there is no reset of DMA on hsdk at all.
If here minItems with value 1 is added and the value of maxItems is changed to 2, after my testing,
whether it is one reset or two resets, even no reset, there is no errors occur when doing dtbs_check,
the DMA initialization shall not be affected either on their platforms.
