So here a “simple” approach with the following device tree addition (plus defaults):
	interrupts = <1 16>, /* dma 0 irq */
		     <1 17>, /* dma 1 irq */
	...
		     <1 26>, /* dma 10 irq */
		     <1 27>, /* dma 11-14 irq */
		     <1 28>; /* dma all irq */
	brcm,dma-channel-mask = <0x7f35>;
	/* new properties below - also the defaults */
	brcm,dma-channel-shared-mask = <0x7800>;
	brcm,dma-shared-irq-index = <11>;

Is this sufficient to move forward?

Thanks,
	Martin

P.s: this would also mean (for later patches):
	brcm,dma-lite-channel-mask = <0x7f00>;
