Great. Updated version 2 below.

Subject: [PATCH v2] dt/documentation: add specification of dma bus information

Recently we introduced the generic device tree infrastructure for couple of DMA
bus parameter, dma-ranges and dma-coherent. Update the documentation so that
its useful for future users.

The "dma-ranges" property is intended to be used for describing the
configuration of DMA bus RAM addresses and its offset w.r.t CPU addresses.

The "dma-coherent" property is intended to be used for identifying devices
supported coherent DMA operations.

Seems, this patch has not been merged accidentally :(
Is it possible for you to take it, or would you like me to re-send it?
