Yeah. I'm not too sure how we want to handle this. Some boot modes will 
require DMA up and running, but if a board only uses eMMC then we won't 
need DMA during the early phases of boot.

I saw we already do this for the AM62P so I decided to keep moving in 
that direction even though it's not a perfect and it seemed like a 
better solution than dragging the DMA node up to the board level.

I'll drop it for now until I can think of a better idea.

Yeah I'm assuming this is one of those weird things being in the middle 
of the Jacinto and Sitara class causes. It's used, much like the rest of 
the Jacinto parts, by the bootloaders to get at the voltage domain info 
to configure the OPP data before the bootloader starts the A53s.

All AM65x boards will need this node to prevent an overclocking situation 
if the voltage isn't high enough.
