powerpc: document the "fsl,ssi-dma-channel" compatible property

Browse source 
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.

playback and DMA channel 3 for capture. The developer can choose which
DMA controller to use, but the channels themselves are hard-wired. The
purpose of these two properties is to represent this hardware design.
The device tree nodes for the DMA channels that are referenced by
"fsl,playback-dma" and "fsl,capture-dma" must be marked as compatible with
"fsl,ssi-dma-channel". The SOC-specific compatible string (e.g.
"fsl,mpc8610-dma-channel") can remain. If these nodes are left as
"fsl,elo-dma-channel" or "fsl,eloplus-dma-channel", then the generic Elo DMA
drivers (fsldma) will attempt to use them, and it will conflict with the
sound drivers.
