Convert the img-mdc-dma binding from txt to YAML schema.
No functional changes except dropping the consumer node
(spi@18100f00) from the example, which belongs to the
consumer binding instead.

-* IMG Multi-threaded DMA Controller (MDC)
-
-Required properties:
-- compatible: Must be "img,pistachio-mdc-dma".
-- reg: Must contain the base address and length of the MDC registers.
-- interrupts: Must contain all the per-channel DMA interrupts.
-- clocks: Must contain an entry for each entry in clock-names.
-  See ../clock/clock-bindings.txt for details.
-- clock-names: Must include the following entries:
-  - sys: MDC system interface clock.
-- img,cr-periph: Must contain a phandle to the peripheral control syscon
-  node which contains the DMA request to channel mapping registers.
-- img,max-burst-multiplier: Must be the maximum supported burst size multiplier.
-  The maximum burst size is this value multiplied by the hardware-reported bus
-  width.
-- #dma-cells: Must be 3:
-  - The first cell is the peripheral's DMA request line.
-  - The second cell is a bitmap specifying to which channels the DMA request
-    line may be mapped (i.e. bit N set indicates channel N is usable).
-  - The third cell is the thread ID to be used by the channel.
-
-Optional properties:
-- dma-channels: Number of supported DMA channels, up to 32.  If not specified
-  the number reported by the hardware is used.

That's vague. What exactly did you change?

Especially that this is not true. You never responded to comments, never
implemented them.

Nothing improved, so with vague commit msg it means you just ignored my
comment.

Best regards,
Krzysztof

Hi, Krzysztof,

You're right — my v3 changelog was too vague, and I should have replied
in this thread. Sorry about that.

For the record, my earlier, detailed replies were in the previous
threads:
Link: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20250824185543.475785-1-ninozhang001@gmail.com/

To summarise the concrete changes:
v2->v3:
- Ensured patches are not attached to unrelated/older threads.
- Dropped redundant '|' or '>' indicators in "description" fields.
- Dropped explicit "type" definition for "dma-channels" property.

v1->v2:
- Removed "Tested with 'make dt_binding_check'" from commit message.
- Renamed file to use the compatible string.
- Updated maintainers to Rahul Bedarkar and linux-mips@vger.kernel.org.
- Cleaned up redundant descriptions.
- Changed "minItems: 1" to "maxItems: 1" for "reg".
- Added "minItems: 1" and "maxItems: 32" for "interrupts".
- Added "maxItems: 1" for "clocks".
- Specified exact "clock-names" list with "items: - const: sys".
- Dropped redundant '|' indicators in descriptions.
- Added "minimum: 1" for "img,max-burst-multiplier".
- Removed unnecessary quotes in "required" section.
- Renamed example node "mdc: dma-controller@18143000" to "dma-controller@18143000".

If I still missed anything from your/Rob's comments, I'll fix it and
send a v4 shortly with:
- an explicit "Changes in v4" section in the commit message,
- inline replies in this thread to each point.

Thanks for pointing this out.

Best regards,
Nino
