The current DT bindings assume that the DMA will be performed by the
devices through their parent DT node, and rely on that assumption
for the
address translation using dma-ranges.

However, some SoCs have devices that will perform DMA through
another bus,
with separate address translation rules. We therefore need to
express that
relationship, through the special interconnect name "dma".

Bikeshed: As it's from the device to the main memory, maybe here we can
also denote this my calling the path dma-mem or dma-memory. For other
paths, we are trying to mention both the source and the destination and
maybe it would be good to be consistent although this is special one.

I'm not sure I understand what you mean. You'd like two interconnect
names, one called dma-memory, and one memory-dma?

Hmm, yes, it's not like "dma" describes an actual source or destination
either :/

IIUC, it's a path (bus) that a dma device use to access some memory
(read or/and write). So i have used source-destination above more in the
sense of initiator-target or master-slave. My suggestion was just to
change the reserved interconnect name from "dma" to "dma-mem" or
"dma-memory".

If dma is an issue in itself, maybe we can call it "device-memory" ?
