Be careful with such changes. In general, DT bindings are forever in general, because you can't update all the users out there, and so every binding that has ever existed has to be supported in the future, for backwards compatibility.
In this case, we might make an exception, given that for AM33xx, the necessary DMA bits are still not missing, and Davinci is not yet fully ported to DT either. So nobody really uses the driver on this platforms.
Sorry, let me rephrase that last paragraph:

Sounds plausible, though without having seen the actual change I can't comment for certain.
