Thanks Arnd. That should avoid the confusion. Just to see if Rob is
fine by it, the example will look like below.
Example:
soc {
compatible = "ti,keystone","simple-bus";
ranges = <0x0 0x0 0x0 0xc0000000>;
dma-ranges = <0x80000000 0x8 0x00000000 0x80000000>;
[...]
usb: usb at 2680000 {
compatible = "ti,keystone-dwc3";
[...]
dma-coherent;
};
};
Regards,
Santosh
