This doesn't really make sense. microchip,mpfs-pdma is compatible with 
sifive,fu540-c000-pdma and sifive,fu540-c000-pdma is compatible with 
sifive,pdma0, but microchip,mpfs-pdma is not compatible with 
sifive,pdma0? (Or replace "compatible with" with "a superset of")

Any fallback is only useful if an OS only understanding the fallback 
will work with the h/w. Does this h/w work without the driver changes?
