Describe what you expect this cell to contain, not the #dma-cells
binding in general. The DMA bindings already cover that.

What are valid value that clients may use, and what do they mean?

List the exact names you expect, or the dma-names property is useless.

Thanks,
Mark.

Listing specific names makes no sense in the binding for the provider,
they should be part of the slave device binding. A reference to the
generic bindings/dma/dma.txt file should be enough here.

+* Freescale MPC512x DMA Controller
+
+The DMA controller in the Freescale MPC512x SoC can move blocks of
+memory contents between memory and peripherals or memory to memory.
+
+Refer to the "Generic DMA Controller and DMA request bindings" description
+in the dma.txt file for a more detailled discussion of the binding.  The
+MPC512x DMA engine binding follows the common scheme, but doesn't provide
+support for the optional channels and requests counters (those values are
+derived from the detected hardware features) and has a fixed client
+specifier length of 1 integer cell (the value is the DMA channel, since
+the DMA controller uses a fixed assignment of request lines per channel).
+
+
+DMA controller node properties:
+
+Required properties:
+- compatible:		should be "fsl,mpc5121-dma"
+- reg:			address and size of the DMA controller's register set
+- interrupts:		interrupt spec for the DMA controller
+
+Optional properties:
+- #dma-cells:		must be <1>, describes the number of integer cells
+			needed to specify the 'dmas' property in client nodes,
+			strongly recommended since common client helper code
+			uses this property
+
+Example:
+
+	dma0: dma@14000 {
+		compatible = "fsl,mpc5121-dma";
+		reg = <0x14000 0x1800>;
+		interrupts = <65 0x8>;
+		#dma-cells = <1>;
+	};
+
+
+Client node properties:
+
+Required properties:
+- dmas:			list of DMA specifiers, consisting each of a handle
+			for the DMA controller and integer cells to specify
+			the channel used within the DMA controller
+- dma-names:		list of identifier strings for the DMA specifiers,
+			client device driver code uses these strings to
+			have DMA channels looked up at the controller
+
+Example:
+
+	sdhc@1500 {
+		compatible = "fsl,mpc5121-sdhc";
+		/* ... */
+		dmas = <&dma0 30>;
+		dma-names = "rx-tx";
