+* SHDMA Device Tree bindings
+
+Sh-/r-mobile and r-car systems often have multiple identical DMA controller
+instances, capable of serving any of a common set of DMA slave devices, using
+the same configuration. To describe this topology we require all compatible
+SHDMA DT nodes to be placed under a DMA multiplexer node. All such compatible
+DMAC instances have the same number of channels and use the same DMA
+descriptors. Therefore respective DMA DT bindings can also all be placed in the
+multiplexer node. Even if there is only one such DMAC instance on a system, it
+still has to be placed under such a multiplexer node.
+
+* DMA multiplexer
+
+Required properties:
+- compatible: should be "renesas,shdma-mux"
+- #dma-cells: should be <1>, see "dmas" property below
+
+Optional properties (currently unused):
+- dma-channels: number of DMA channels
+- dma-requests: number of DMA request signals
+
+* DMA controller
+
+Required properties:
+- compatible: should be "renesas,shdma"
+
+Example:
+ dmac: dma-mux0 {
+ compatible = "renesas,shdma-mux";
+ #dma-cells = <1>;
+ dma-channels = <6>;
+ dma-requests = <256>;
+ reg = <0 0>; /* Needed for AUXDATA */
+ #address-cells = <1>;
+ #size-cells = <1>;
+ ranges;
+
+ dma0: shdma@fe008020 {
+ compatible = "renesas,shdma";
+ reg = <0xfe008020 0x270>,
+ <0xfe009000 0xc>;
+ interrupt-parent = <&gic>;
+ interrupts = <0 34 4
+ 0 28 4
+ 0 29 4
+ 0 30 4
+ 0 31 4
+ 0 32 4
+ 0 33 4>;
+ interrupt-names = "error",
+ "ch0", "ch1", "ch2", "ch3",
+ "ch4", "ch5";
+ };
+
+ dma1: shdma@fe018020 {
+ ...
+ };
+
+ dma2: shdma@fe028020 {
+ ...
+ };
+ };
+
+* DMA client
+
+Required properties:
+- dmas: a list of <[DMA multiplexer phandle] [MID/RID value]> pairs,
+ where MID/RID values are fixed handles, specified in the SoC
+ manual
+- dma-names: a list of DMA channel names, one per "dmas" entry
+
+Example:
+ dmas = <&dmac 0xd1
+ &dmac 0xd2>;
+ dma-names = "tx", "rx";
