I don't follow...
In any case, yes, it must have a vendor prefix. It should also have a
compatible for the vendor(s) that integrate the block because they all
break it in different ways. Speaking of which, we already have
snps-dma.txt and at least Analog Devices binding using a Synopsys DMA.
What's the difference?
