Thanks for the comment Aisheng!

Yes, I think that's the more clear approach although in
our internal tree the edma driver uses only the "fsl,imx8qm-edma
compatible.

I will go with your suggestion.

One thing that it is not clear for me is why there are places
where we use two compatible strings?

I understand the situation where are two distinct drivers, but is there
any other reason to add multiple compatible strings for a node in dts?

thanks,
Daniel.
