v1:
- Initial version.

v2:
- Fix bot errors.

v3:
- No change.

v4:
- Address Thomas langer comments
- use node name pattern as dma-controller as in common binding.
- Remove "_" (underscore) in instance name.
- Remove "port-" and "chan-" in attribute name for both 'dma-ports' & 'dma-channels' child nodes.

v5:
- Moved some of the attributes in 'dma-ports' & 'dma-channels' child nodes to dma client/consumer side as cells in 'dmas' properties.

v6:
- Add additionalProperties: false
- completely removed 'dma-ports' and 'dma-channels' child nodes.
- Moved channel dt properties to client side dmas.
- Use standard dma-channels and dma-channel-mask properties.
- Documented reset-names
- Add description for dma-cells

v7:
- modified compatible to oneof
- Reduced number of dma-cells to 3
- Fine tune the description of some properties.

v7-resend:
- rebase to 5.10-rc1

v8:
- rebased to 5.10-rc3
- Fixing the bot issues (wrong indentation)

v9:
- rebased to 5.10-rc3
- Use 'enum' instead of oneOf+const
- Drop '#dma-cells' in required:, already covered in dma-common.yaml
- Drop nodename Already covered by dma-controller.yaml

Can you explain this, also sounds you could use _maxburst values..?
when dma-byte-en = 0 (disabled) DMA write will be in terms of burst length, dma-byte-en = 1 (enabled) write will be in terms of Dwords.

Byte enable = 0 (Disabled) means that DMA write will be based on the burst length, even if it only transmits one byte.
Byte enable = 1(enabled) means that DMA write will be based on the number of Dwords, instead of the whole burst.

This is DMA controller capability. It can be decided from driver also. i will change accordingly.

How would this be used by folks..?
A register bit will be used to enable/disable the ORR feature.

Outstanding Read Capability introduce CMD FIFO to support up to 16 outstanding reads for different packet in same channel.

For large packets up to 16 OR can be issued, the number of OR is configurable.

So only two are mandatory, what about the bunch of intel properties you
added above..?
Some of the properties are DMA capabilities, Enabling from device tree.
other properties will use default values from driver if we dont pass it from device tree.
