I have no idea what you want here. I see it like this: DT is OS
agnostic. So, the flags are to describe the hardware. The Linux driver
then does the proper things according to these flags. Other OS driver
might do other things.

And I still have no idea why my header is different than the Tegra one.

So, I should add the header to the driver? Can do, but then I have to
remove the reference to the header from the binding doc. Namely, this
paragraph:

+ The first cell is the channel number as specified in the documentation
+ of the SoC. The second cell may specify flags as described in the file
+ <dt-bindings/soc/renesas,r8a78000-mfis.h>.

Not helpful for the user, or?
