arm,dma-pl330

Vendor: ARM Ltd.

Description

These nodes are “dma” bus nodes.

A phandle to the DMA controller plus "channel" integer cell specifying
channel to be used for data transfer

Example for pl330 DMA Controller
   pl330: pl330@48300000 {
                compatible = "arm,dma-pl330";
                ...
                dma-channels = <8>;
                #dma-cells = <1>;
                label = "PL330";
          };

If PCIe EP client uses channel 0 for Tx DMA and channel 1 for Rx DMA
   pcie0_ep: pcie@4e100000 {
                compatible = "brcm,iproc-pcie-ep";
                ...
                dmas = <&pl330 0>, <&pl330 1>;
                dma-names = "txdma", "rxdma";
                label = "PCIE_0";
          };
