You described the desired Linux feature or behavior, not the actual
hardware. The bindings are about the latter, so instead you need to
rephrase the property and its description to match actual hardware
capabilities/features/configuration etc.

I don't quite get why firmware-name is not suitable here, what is
"protocol driver" in this context and how firmware is loaded from it?

Please wrap code according to coding style (checkpatch is not a coding
style description, but only a tool).

Use string but anyway this would need some changes and explanation why
lack of DMA cannot be used to determine that. CPU DMA and GSI DMA also
need some background.
