This example is a bit strange. I don't understand the relationship
between keystone-dwc3 and synopsys,dwc3, nor do I want to. I'd prefer
to see a simple example here.
dma-ranges is a property of the parent which you show, but
dma-coherent originally was a property of the bus master itself. While
we need to support that, are we changing that? We need to be clear on
where the property belongs even if the kernel is more lax.
