Add a string property to assign the rpmsg channel this sound card sits
on. It also represents the name of ASoC platform driver. This property
can be omitted if there is only one sound card and it sits on
"rpmsg-audio-channel".

That's a Linux detail which doesn't belong in DT.

We pass hardware parameters in dts node to set up clocks or other
configurations. These configurations are finally sent to Cortex-M by
rpmsg channel because Cortex-M actually controls real hardware devices.
If there's only one sound card sits on one rpmsg channel we will not
need this property. But if there are several sound cards we need to
specify correct rpmsg channel. Thus hardware configurations can be
properly sent to Cortex-M. From this level to speak, this property is
hardware-related since rpmsg channel represents the real hardware audio
controller.

Here I attach the discussion in version 1 patches for your information:
---
This property aims to tell the ASoC driver which rpmsg channel the
sound card depends on. If there are several sound cards sit on rpmsg,
we should pass correct information in dts node to specify the name of
rpmsg channel. That is why I meant to add this property. 

Actually this property is hardware-related. As we discussed before,
this kind of sound card based on rpmsg works under this mechanism
Cortex-A core tells the Cortex-M core configuration of the PCM
parameters then Cortex-M controls real hardware devices. This property
specifying rpmsg channel represents the real hardware audio controller.
---

That's my idea adding this property. Do you have any suggstion?

I think you misunderstood the comment. Rob's comment was directly below
a line which he referred to. That line contained a statement referring
to Linux drivers. Anything related to Linux drivers does not belong to DT.

Thanks for explaining the meaning and giving more details. I will
delete the statement referring to linux drivers. Indeed this property
is designed to assign the rpmsg channel name.
Does it look better if I modify the code like this:

+  fsl,rpmsg-channel-name:
+    $ref: /schemas/types.yaml#/definitions/string
+    description: |
+      A string property to assign rpmsg channel this sound card sits on.
+      This property can be omitted if there is only one sound card and it sits
+      on "rpmsg-audio-channel".
+    enum:
+      - rpmsg-audio-channel
+      - rpmsg-micfil-channel
