Vinod has just merged this patch - do you want me to submit another
to correct those?

dma-shared-all is unfortunately an interrupt-line that triggers
for interrupt-channels 0-15 and that includes the dma channels
that are owned by the firmware.

It is there mostly to document the interrupt-line (which is there in the 
existing device tree files - it is not used.
