    dmaengine: rcar-dmac: Document SoC specific bindings · 6bf64103
    Simon Horman authored
    In general Renesas hardware is not documented to the extent where the
    relationship between IP blocks on different SoCs can be assumed although
    they may appear to operate the same way. Furthermore the documentation
    typically does not specify a version for individual IP blocks. For these
    reasons a convention of using the SoC name in place of a version and
    providing SoC-specific compat strings has been adopted.
    
    Although not universally liked this convention is used in the bindings for
    most drivers for Renesas hardware. The purpose of this patch is to
    update the Renesas R-Car DMA Controller driver to follow this convention.
