Maybe "statically defining it" is better here?

Maybe "backwards-compatibility" is better here?

IMO we should have a "sifive,pdma-1.0.0" (or whatever the versioning 
scheme ended up being) here, in addition to the SOC-specific DT entry.  
It's kind of odd to start extending the SOC-specific DT entry, as the 
whole idea there is to let us have an out in case we find future 
compatibility issues.
