Update the documentation so that its useful for future users. The "dma-ranges" property is intended to be used for describing the configuration of DMA bus RAM addresses and its offset w.r.t CPU addresses. The "dma-coherent" property is intended to be used for identifying devices supported coherent DMA operations.
