-* Freescale Smart Direct Memory Access (SDMA) Controller for i.MX
-
-Required properties:
-- compatible : Should be one of
-      "fsl,imx25-sdma"
-      "fsl,imx31-sdma", "fsl,imx31-to1-sdma", "fsl,imx31-to2-sdma"
-      "fsl,imx35-sdma", "fsl,imx35-to1-sdma", "fsl,imx35-to2-sdma"

-      "fsl,imx8mm-sdma"
-      "fsl,imx8mn-sdma"
-      "fsl,imx8mp-sdma"
-  The -to variants should be preferred since they allow to determine the
-  correct ROM script addresses needed for the driver to work without additional
-  firmware.
-- reg : Should contain SDMA registers location and length
-- interrupts : Should contain SDMA interrupt
-- #dma-cells : Must be <3>.
-  The first cell specifies the DMA request/event ID.  See details below
-  about the second and third cell.
-- fsl,sdma-ram-script-name : Should contain the full path of SDMA RAM
-  scripts firmware
-
-The second cell of dma phandle specifies the peripheral type of DMA transfer.
-The full ID of peripheral types can be found below.
-
-	ID	transfer type
-	---------------------
-	0	MCU domain SSI
-	1	Shared SSI
-	2	MMC
-	3	SDHC
-	4	MCU domain UART
-	5	Shared UART
-	6	FIRI
-	7	MCU domain CSPI
-	8	Shared CSPI
-	9	SIM
-	10	ATA
-	11	CCM
-	12	External peripheral
-	13	Memory Stick Host Controller
-	14	Shared Memory Stick Host Controller
-	15	DSP
-	16	Memory
-	17	FIFO type Memory
-	18	SPDIF
-	19	IPU Memory
-	20	ASRC
-	21	ESAI
-	22	SSI Dual FIFO	(needs firmware ver >= 2)
-	23	Shared ASRC
-	24	SAI
-
-The third cell specifies the transfer priority as below.
-
-	ID	transfer priority
-	-------------------------
-	0	High
-	1	Medium
-	2	Low
-
-Optional properties:
-
-- gpr : The phandle to the General Purpose Register (GPR) node.
-- fsl,sdma-event-remap : Register bits of sdma event remap, the format is
-  <reg shift val>.
-    reg is the GPR register offset.
-    shift is the bit position inside the GPR register.
-    val is the value of the bit (0 or 1).
-
-Examples:
-
-sdma@83fb0000 {
-	compatible = "fsl,imx51-sdma", "fsl,imx35-sdma";
-	reg = <0x83fb0000 0x4000>;
-	interrupts = <6>;
-	#dma-cells = <3>;
-	fsl,sdma-ram-script-name = "sdma-imx51.bin";
-};
-
-DMA clients connected to the i.MX SDMA controller must use the format
-described in the dma.txt file.
-
-Examples:
-
-ssi2: ssi@70014000 {
-	compatible = "fsl,imx51-ssi", "fsl,imx21-ssi";
-	reg = <0x70014000 0x4000>;
-	interrupts = <30>;
-	clocks = <&clks 49>;
-	dmas = <&sdma 24 1 0>,
-	       <&sdma 25 1 0>;
-	dma-names = "rx", "tx";
-	fsl,fifo-depth = <15>;
-};
-
-Using the fsl,sdma-event-remap property:
-
-If we want to use SDMA on the SAI1 port on a MX6SX:
-
-&sdma {
-	gpr = <&gpr>;
-	/* SDMA events remap for SAI1_RX and SAI1_TX */
-	fsl,sdma-event-remap = <0 15 1>, <0 16 1>;
-};
-
-The fsl,sdma-event-remap property in this case has two values:
-- <0 15 1> means that the offset is 0, so GPR0 is the register of the
-SDMA remap. Bit 15 of GPR0 selects between UART4_RX and SAI1_RX.
-Setting bit 15 to 1 selects SAI1_RX.
-- <0 16 1> means that the offset is 0, so GPR0 is the register of the
-SDMA remap. Bit 16 of GPR0 selects between UART4_TX and SAI1_TX.
-Setting bit 16 to 1 selects SAI1_TX.
