Ok, can change to that format in v3.

None of the stih407-family nodes I can see have this padding, including
the ones merged by you.

Yes Rob did already mention that over here, see my reply at the bottom
http://www.spinics.net/lists/devicetree/msg92529.html.

However I can't think of any other useful properties we could add
to derive this information. The fdma controller number is used
by the driver to generate a unique firmware filename.

Peter.
