I'll improve the desc for the next version.

So, yes, it's an ABI change, and as far as I can guess (I can't figure 
out any other reason), the audio DMAs were left out by mistake or 
misunderstanding. The Linux driver has not supported audio, so this has 
not been an issue and nothing is broken.

Now that this series adds the audio support, I had to add the audio 
DMAs. I considered making the DMAs optional in the DT, but that doesn't 
sound right, even if that would keep the ABI compatibility (wouldn't 
it?). The driver I add in this series does consider the audio DMAs as 
optional, though. If they're not present, the driver will continue 
without audio support.

So, strictly speaking I think this is a fix to the original commit that 
adds the DT node, but as the driver using the audio DMAs comes in only 
now, I think there's no need for the 'Fixes' and backporting.

I'm happy to change the approach if you think some other way is better.
