That does not seem to be entirely true: The H616 encodes the two lowest
bits in DMA_DESC_ADDR_REG differently: on the H6 they must be 0 (word
aligned), on the H616 these contain bits [33:32] of the address of the
DMA descriptor. The manual doesn't describe the descriptor format in
much detail, but ec31c5c59492 suggests that those two bits are put in
the "para" word of the descriptor.

The good thing it that this encoding is backwards compatible, so I
think the fallback string still holds: Any driver just implementing the
H6 encoding would be able to drive the H616.

I think the A100 was mis-described, as mentioned here:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-arm-kernel/29e575b6-14cb-73f1-512d-9f0f934490ea@xxxxxxx/
I think we should:
- make the A100 use: "allwinner,sun50i-a100-dma", "sun50i-h6-dma"
- make the H616 use: "allwinner,sun50i-h616-dma", "allwinner,sun50i-a100-dma", "sun50i-h6-dma"

Does that make sense?

Cheers,
Andre
