Then add dma-names at that point and rx has to be first. If you know
there's other channels, then add them now. Don't evolve the bindings
needlessly based on what a driver supports.

Would another channel make sense here? Maybe multi-channel rx in which
case your naming wouldn't be setup for that. But "tx" on an ADC?
