On Tegra264, not all I2C controllers have the necessary interface to
GPC DMA, this causes failures when function tegra_i2c_init_dma()
is called.

Ensure that "dmas" device-tree property is present before initializing
DMA in function tegra_i2c_init_dma().

v4 -> v9:
        * Moved the condition down to have all dma checks together.
v2 -> v4:
        * Add debug print if DMA is not supported by the I2C controller.
v1 -> v2:
        * Update commit message to clarify that some I2C controllers may
          not have the necessary interface to GPC DMA.
