Recently we introduced the generic device tree infrastructure for couple of DMA
bus parameter, dma-ranges and dma-coherent. Update the documentation so that
its useful for future users.

The "dma-ranges" property is intended to be used for describing the
configuration of DMA bus RAM addresses and its offset w.r.t CPU addresses.

The "dma-coherent" property is intended to be used for identifying devices
supported coherent DMA operations.

Thanks for the documentation.  I think it's definitely useful for future
users of the binding.

Yeah.. Not sure what I was thinking...

+VIV - Specifying dma bus information
+
+Some devices may have DMA memory range shifted relatively to the beginning of
+RAM, or even placed outside of kernel RAM. For example, the Keystone 2 SoC
+worked in LPAE mode with 4G memory has:
+- RAM range: [0x8 0000 0000, 0x8 FFFF FFFF]
+- DMA range: [  0x8000 0000,   0xFFFF FFFF]
+and DMA range is aliased into first 2G of RAM in HW.
+
+In such cases, DMA addresses translation should be performed between CPU phys
+and DMA addresses. The "dma-ranges" property is intended to be used
+for describing the configuration of such system in DT.
+
+In addition, each DMA master device on the DMA bus may or may not support
+coherent DMA operations. The "dma-coherent" property is intended to be used
+for identifying devices supported coherent DMA operations in DT.
+
+* DMA Bus master
+Optional property:
+- dma-ranges: <prop-encoded-array> encoded as arbitrary number of triplets of
+	(child-bus-address, parent-bus-address, length). Each triplet specified
+	describes a contiguous DMA address range.
+	The dma-ranges property is used to describe the direct memory access (DMA)
+	structure of a memory-mapped bus whose device tree parent can be accessed
+	from DMA operations originating from the bus. It provides a means of
+	defining a mapping or translation between the physical address space of
+	the bus and the physical address space of the parent of the bus.
+	(for more information see ePAPR specification)
+
+* DMA Bus child
+Optional property:
+- dma-ranges: <empty> value. if present - It means that DMA addresses
+	translation has to be enabled for this device.
+- dma-coherent: Present if dma operations are coherent
+
+Example:
+soc {
+		compatible = "ti,keystone","simple-bus";
+		ranges = <0x0 0x0 0x0 0xc0000000>;
+		dma-ranges = <0x80000000 0x8 0x00000000 0x80000000>;
+
+		[...]

+			dma-coherent;
+			dma-ranges;

+			dwc3@2690000 {
+				compatible = "synopsys,dwc3";
