Will fix in v2.

Yes, it is documented further down in the file under DMA Client.

To make it clearer in V2 I could change to

"- #dma-cells	: Must be <3>. See DMA client section below"?

Peter.

- #dma-cells	: Must be <3>
			1st cell: Phandle to       ... <blah>
			2nd cell: DMA channel      ... <blah>
			3rd cell: Flags describing ... <blah>

I'd prefer not to document it twice in the same file as it is
almost 20 lines long. IMHO it makes more sense to document it under
the dma-client section like it is done presently, because when writing a
dma-client node you need to know what these things mean.

When writing a controller node all you only need to know is
"Must be <3>". A more avid reader now has a nice pointer to scroll
down if they wish to find out more.

regards,

Peter.
