I don't think that it was meant to have a fixed order: unlike the other
bindings that define xxx-names properties, dmas require giving
names to allow the DT to specify more than one possible DMA
specifier for a given name. This means that nothing may ever just
rely on an index but has to use the name for lookup.
OTOH, while fixing the order in the binding does not add any
value, it's also harmless as this should never be able to break
anything that worked for any combination of old/new dtb and
kernel, and it's probably easier to express in the binding.
