This patch updates the device-tree binding doc for
adding support for AXI DMA.
Also this patch differentiates required properties b/w
DMA and VDMA.

Changes for v4:
---> None.
Changes for v3:
---> Removed AXI DMA DT example from the patch as suggested by Rob.
---> Differentiated required/optional properties for each DMA's
     as suggested by Rob.
Changes for v2:
---> Modified commit message as suggested by Vinod.
---> Moved the patch to forward in the series as suggested by vinod.
