IMHO "sdma-imx6.bin" is much more descriptive then "sdma-imx6q.bin" in
this case.

It could have been named "foobar" as far as I am concerned. But because
it was named "sdma-imx6q.bin" in imx6qdl.dtsi error was made when new
imx6sl.dtsi was created. Naming it "sdma-imx6.bin" or "sdma-imx6x.bin"
would help avoiding confusions in the future (despite it's not SoC
name).
