Yes, I will have a look and practice my DT understanding on this...

Well, for now it relies on PDC (looks like an internal DMA). There is no
notion of channel/request so I think it is appropriate to keep it like this.

Yes, even in long term, this driver will be built without OF support. It
is true though that the extra data is not very big...

I took the IMX serial driver as an example which is in devicetree/next
branch (tty/serial/imx.c).

Is it the proper way to use this?

Ok.


Thanks for your review Rob.
