Thanks Arnd. That should avoid the confusion. Just to see if Rob is
fine by it, the example will look like below.

Example:
soc {
		compatible = "ti,keystone","simple-bus";
		ranges = <0x0 0x0 0x0 0xc0000000>;
		dma-ranges = <0x80000000 0x8 0x00000000 0x80000000>;

		[...]

		usb: usb@2680000 {
			compatible = "ti,keystone-dwc3";

			[...]
			dma-coherent;
		};
};

Santosh
