dt/documentation: add specification of dma bus information

Browse Source 
Recently we introduced the generic device tree infrastructure for couple of DMA
bus parameter, dma-ranges and dma-coherent. Update the documentation so that
its useful for future users.

The "dma-ranges" property is intended to be used for describing the
configuration of DMA bus RAM addresses and its offset w.r.t CPU addresses.

The "dma-coherent" property is intended to be used for identifying devices
supported coherent DMA operations.

IX - Specifying dma bus information
Some devices may have DMA memory range shifted relatively to the beginning of
RAM, or even placed outside of kernel RAM. For example, the Keystone 2 SoC
worked in LPAE mode with 4G memory has:
- RAM range: [0x8 0000 0000, 0x8 FFFF FFFF]
- DMA range: [ 0x8000 0000, 0xFFFF FFFF]
and DMA range is aliased into first 2G of RAM in HW.
In such cases, DMA addresses translation should be performed between CPU phys
and DMA addresses. The "dma-ranges" property is intended to be used
for describing the configuration of such system in DT.
In addition, each DMA master device on the DMA bus may or may not support
coherent DMA operations. The "dma-coherent" property is intended to be used
for identifying devices supported coherent DMA operations in DT.
* DMA Bus master
Optional property:
- dma-ranges: <prop-encoded-array> encoded as arbitrary number of triplets of
(child-bus-address, parent-bus-address, length). Each triplet specified
describes a contiguous DMA address range.
The dma-ranges property is used to describe the direct memory access (DMA)
structure of a memory-mapped bus whose device tree parent can be accessed
from DMA operations originating from the bus. It provides a means of
defining a mapping or translation between the physical address space of
the bus and the physical address space of the parent of the bus.
(for more information see ePAPR specification)
* DMA Bus child
Optional property:
- dma-ranges: <empty> value. if present - It means that DMA addresses
translation has to be enabled for this device.
- dma-coherent: Present if dma operations are coherent
Example:
soc {
compatible = "ti,keystone","simple-bus";
ranges = <0x0 0x0 0x0 0xc0000000>;
dma-ranges = <0x80000000 0x8 0x00000000 0x80000000>;
[...]
usb: usb@2680000 {
compatible = "ti,keystone-dwc3";
[...]
dma-coherent;
};
};
