+Note on DMA channel compatible properties: The compatible property must say
+"fsl,elo-dma-channel" or "fsl,eloplus-dma-channel" to be used by the Elo DMA
+driver (fsldma). Any DMA channel used by fsldma cannot be used by another
+DMA driver, such as the SSI sound drivers for the MPC8610. Therefore, any DMA
+channel that should be used for another driver should not use
+"fsl,elo-dma-channel" or "fsl,eloplus-dma-channel". For the SSI drivers, for
+example, the compatible property should be "fsl,ssi-dma-channel". See ssi.txt
+for more information.
