[PATCH v8 1/3] DMA: Freescale: revise device tree binding document

[hongbo.zhang]

From: Hongbo Zhang <hongbo.zhang@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

This patch updates the discription of each type of DMA controller and its
channels, it is preparation for adding another new DMA controller binding, it
also fixes some defects of indent for text alignment at the same time.
