I do not see at all analogy with dma-names. dma-names are used ONLY by the consumer to pick up proper property "dmas" from DT. They are not passed to DMA code. They are not used to configure DMA provider at all. You parse string from DT and pass it further as DMA filtering code. This is abuse of hardware description for programming your driver and their dependencies. Why you cannot hard-code them?

Drop is above the text so why do you refer to dai cells? We use here text-based mailing list style of discussions, not corporate MS Office. Best regards, Krzysztof
