Now that I have sent this series...
Would it be better to not touch the compatible strings, but add of_device_id
table in the ti-dma-crossbar driver containing the supported dma controllers,
like "ti,omap4430-sdma" and "ti,edma3" and to of_match_node() against the node
we got via dma-masters?

So we would keep the ti,dra7-dma-crossbar and depending on where the
dma-masters point us we can decide in the code on how to handle?

Just a thought.
