Surely this is required to be able to refer to DMA channels on the
device?

Excuse me, I didn't understand your question.
Do you inquire about the reason of making #dma-cells an optional property?
It's optional because device tree based lookup support is made
optional (part 3/3).

Best regards,
Alexander

Mark, did I answer your question?
Should I fix anything in this patch series?

Hope for the reply.

Hi Alexander,

Apologies for the late reply. DT-related email is somewhat a firehose
and unfortunately I lose track of things.

I would move it under required properties even if we happen to not use
it in certain edge cases.

Moving forwards everything should be DT-driven, so it'll be necessary.

Thanks,
Mark.

+* Freescale MPC512x and MPC8308 DMA Controller
+
+The DMA controller in Freescale MPC512x and MPC8308 SoCs can move
+blocks of memory contents between memory and peripherals or
+from memory to memory.
+
+Refer to "Generic DMA Controller and DMA request bindings" in
+the dma/dma.txt file for a more detailed description of binding.
+
+Required properties:
+- compatible: should be "fsl,mpc5121-dma" or "fsl,mpc8308-dma";
+- reg: should contain the DMA controller registers location and length;
+- interrupt for the DMA controller: syntax of interrupt client node
+	is described in interrupt-controller/interrupts.txt file.
+
+Optional properties:
+- #dma-cells: the length of the DMA specifier, must be <1>.
+	Each channel of this DMA controller has a peripheral request line,
+	the assignment is fixed in hardware. This one cell
+	in dmas property of a client device represents the channel number.
+
+Example:
+
+	dma0: dma@14000 {
+		compatible = "fsl,mpc5121-dma";
+		reg = <0x14000 0x1800>;
+		interrupts = <65 0x8>;
+		#dma-cells = <1>;
+	};
+
+DMA clients must use the format described in dma/dma.txt file.
