I was the one who objected the v1 approach. My frustration is that I
wasn't Cc:d in the later iterations of this patch set. And I also liked
v4 better :-\

I wonder what the DT maintainers said (and where [1]). The patch was
applied (db0a196bd8ad1d6bb4b1a9e54f54c09f8dc2cc25) and I think that's
wrong (as it was in v1) because fsl,dma-info isn't about hardware
description but about software tuning for different use cases.

Best regards
Uwe
