I don't get it, sorry. Devices performing DMA through foo-bar should use
dmas property for foo-bar DMA controller. Interconnects is not for that.

No improvements.

This is not a interconnect provider, but DMA controller, according to

Either dma-controller or memory-controller, decide what is this.

Nothing improved.
