playback and DMA channel 3 for capture. The developer can choose which
DMA controller to use, but the channels themselves are hard-wired. The
purpose of these two properties is to represent this hardware design.

+The device tree nodes for the DMA channels that are referenced by
+"fsl,playback-dma" and "fsl,capture-dma" must be marked as compatible with
+"fsl,ssi-dma-channel". The SOC-specific compatible string (e.g.
+"fsl,mpc8610-dma-channel") can remain. If these nodes are left as
+"fsl,elo-dma-channel" or "fsl,eloplus-dma-channel", then the generic Elo DMA
+drivers (fsldma) will attempt to use them, and it will conflict with the
+sound drivers.
