Apple embed short data blobs into their SIO devicetree node + that describe the DMA-enabled peripherals (presumably with defined semantics). + Their driver processes those blobs and sets up data structure in mapped device + memory, then references this memory in the parameters sent to the SIO.

It also means the + semantics of Apple's blobs (or of something to replace them) need not be part + of the binding and be kept up with Apple's firmware changes in the future. + + - It leaves less work for the driver attaching on this binding.
