Hi Angelo,

'i2s0-share = "I2S2"' means that if we want use I2S0, there need open
I2S2 to provide clock. Conversely, if we want to use I2S2, we don't
need to open I2S0. However, MediaTek I2S0 and I2S2 hardware are
generally designed as input. So usually we use 'i2s0-share = "I2S1"'.
Even numbers represent input, odd numbers represent output.

Yes, I think adding the "mediatek," prefix is the right way to define a
non-generic property.
