2 clocks are in the example. Define how many clocks and the order.

Why is this not part of reg?

So this uses the common DMA binding?

Prefix these with "ti,"

This is not documented in the above binding.

The same address as above is correct here?

How is this used? It is to match with the above "DMA Instance"? Can
you use phandles?
The use of DMA client and DMA instance are not very clear.

These could be args to a phandle.
