I don't think that that would be necessary. If you look at the existing
tegra i2s binding [0], there is a ahub-cif-ids property which maps the
actual slave to the apbif (equivalent of the adma-if). This ID is used
to get the appropriate dma channel for this client interface (cif).

The xbar is common to existing tegra devices and today is configured via
the ahub-cif-ids property.

The channels can be configured to be either rx or tx and yes the IDs do
overlap so you have 1-10 for both rx and tx. However, if you are asking
how do I ensure that only one channel uses a specific hardware request,
then yes I probably need to add the direction to the specifier to ensure
only one channel uses a request at any given time.
