OK

Well, I would assume the ‘dmas’ property as described above has an implicit
natural order, and the dma-names are tied to it. You order it like the other
per-cluster properties, and then within the cluster the order is fixed to
'TXA, RXA, TXB, RXB’ (maybe the word ‘respectively’ thrown into the description
would have made it clearer).

Anyway that’s just discussing my assumptions. I can roll out the items list
for ‘dma-names’, if that’s what you mean. Or do you mean explicitly describing
the items in ‘dmas’ too?

It’s a peripheral you use to transmit and receive samples over I2S, frankly
I don't know the nomenclature.
