Add SoC-specific compatible strings to the DT binding documents to support
cix sky1 SoC.

When adding support for a new SoC that uses the arm dma controller,
future contributors should be encouraged to actually add SoC-specific
compatible strings. The use of the "arm,dma-350" compatible string in
isolation should be disallowed.

No, you've missed the point - however many channels the hardware implements, the DT should list that many interrupt specifiers; it doesn't matter whether any of them happen to be the same.

Thanks,
Robin.
