Take a look at p1022ds.dts or mpc8610hpcd.dts.  We create separate DMA
channel nodes on Freescale PowerPC parts because the channels really
are independent.  On these two boards, some of the DMA channels are
used by the async DMA driver, and two of the channels are used by the
audio driver.  The compatible property is used to differentiate among
them.
