Sorry I didn't notice this previously, but "moxa" isn't in
Documentation/devicetree/bindings/vendor-prefixes.txt (despite several
bindings using it). Could you cook up a separate patch to add an entry
for Moxa, please?
Also, given the SoC is called "ART" it's a shame that we're calling this
"moxa,moxart-dma" rather than "moxa,art-dma". We already have precedent
for "moxart" in bindings though, so changing that's likely to lead to
more problems.

Sorry for yet more pendantry, but could we instead have:
- interrupts: Should contain an interrupt-specifier for the sole
interrupt generated by the device.

Otherwise I think the binding looks OK.
Thanks,
