+* Freescale Direct Memory Access (DMA) Controller for i.MX
+
+This document will only describe differences to the generic DMA Controller and
+DMA request bindings as described in dma/dma.txt .
+
+* DMA controller
+
+Required properties:
+- compatible : Should be "fsl,<chip>-dma". chip can be imx1, imx21 or imx27
+- reg : Should contain DMA registers location and length
+- interrupts : First item should be DMA interrupt, second one is optional and
+ should contain DMA Error interrupt
+- #dma-cells : Has to be 1. imx-dma does not support anything else.
+
+Optional properties:
+- dma-channels : Number of DMA channels supported. Should be 16.
+- #dma-channels : deprecated
+- dma-requests : Number of DMA requests supported.
+- #dma-requests : deprecated
+
+Example:
+
+ dma: dma@10001000 {
+ compatible = "fsl,imx27-dma";
+ reg = <0x10001000 0x1000>;
+ interrupts = <32 33>;
+ #dma-cells = <1>;
+ dma-channels = <16>;
+ };
+
+
+* DMA client
+
+Clients have to specify the DMA requests with phandles in a list.
+
+Required properties:
+- dmas: List of one or more DMA request specifiers. One DMA request specifier
+ consists of a phandle to the DMA controller followed by the integer
+ specifying the request line.
+- dma-names: List of string identifiers for the DMA requests. For the correct
+ names, have a look at the specific client driver.
+
+Example:
+
+ sdhci1: sdhci@10013000 {
+ ...
+ dmas = <&dma 7>;
+ dma-names = "rx-tx";
+ ...
+ };
