powerpc: document the "fsl,ssi-dma-channel" compatible property
The "fsl,ssi-dma-channel" compatible property is used to specify a DMA channel on the Freescale Elo DMA controller that should be used exclusively by the Freescale SSI audio controller. When a property is marked as such, the Elo DMA driver will ignore it, and so it will be available for the sound drivers.

Note on DMA channel compatible properties: The compatible property must say
|
||||
"fsl,elo-dma-channel" or "fsl,eloplus-dma-channel" to be used by the Elo DMA
|
||||
driver (fsldma). Any DMA channel used by fsldma cannot be used by another
|
||||
DMA driver, such as the SSI sound drivers for the MPC8610. Therefore, any DMA
|
||||
channel that should be used for another driver should not use
|
||||
"fsl,elo-dma-channel" or "fsl,eloplus-dma-channel". For the SSI drivers, for
|
||||
example, the compatible property should be "fsl,ssi-dma-channel". See ssi.txt
|
||||
for more information.
