+* ARM PrimeCell PL330 DMA Controller
+
+The ARM PrimeCell PL330 DMA controller can move blocks of memory contents
+between memory and peripherals or memory to memory.
+
+Required properties:
+ - compatible: should include both "arm,pl330" and "arm,primecell".
+ - reg: physical base address of the controller and length of memory mapped
+ region.
+ - interrupts: interrupt number to the cpu.
+
+Example:
+
+ pdma0: pdma@12680000 {
+ compatible = "arm,pl330", "arm,primecell";
+ reg = <0x12680000 0x1000>;
+ interrupts = <99>;
+ };
+
+Client drivers (device nodes requiring dma transfers from dev-to-mem or
+mem-to-dev) should specify the DMA channel numbers using a two-value pair
+as shown below.
+
+ [property name] = <[phandle of the dma controller] [dma request id]>;
+
+ where 'dma request id' is the dma request number which is connected
+ to the client controller. The 'property name' is recommended to be
+ of the form <name>-dma-channel.
+
+ Example: tx-dma-channel = <&pdma0 12>;
