So I know that the Tegra114 HW has a new channel-pause feature, which
the driver /can/ use. However, if the driver didn't know about that
feature, and continued to use the global-pause feature, would it still
work fine?
In other words, is the Tegra114 HW 100% backwards-compatible with the
Tegra30 HW, it's just that there are new features that SW could
optionally use?
If that is true, then we should also include "nvidia,tegra30-apbdma" in
the compatible value.
