We can start by documenting it without gaps allowed, and then allow gaps
if needed, leaving the support of gaps defined in device bindings.

You don't need to populate common-i2s.txt with all I2S properties.
Creating the file for i2s-data-lanes would be a nice first step, you can
then let other audio developers take over :-)
