Hi Markus,

Please make sure you are following the generic dma binding from
Documentation/devicetree/bindings/dma/dma.txt that is getting added
in Linux-3.9.

In particular, the "#dma-cells" property is required here, along with
dma-channels and dma-requests. You also need to describe the format
of the "dmas" property in slave drivers referring to this node.
In a lot of cases, you only need a single cell there, which is the
request line number.
