Doesn't matter yet, but you have a mismatch here with the schema. While
the <> around each int or not doesn't matter for the dtb, it does for
the schema.

dma-channel-mask = <0xffffffff>, <0xffffe007>;
minItems: 1
maxItems: 255

dma-channel-mask = <0xffffffff 0xffffe007>;
items:
minItems: 1
maxItems: 255

I think the latter case is slightly more logical here as you have 1
thing (a mask). If had N of something (like interrupts), then the former
makes sense.
