SAI supports up to 8 data lines. This property let the user
configure how many data lines should be used per transfer
direction (Tx/Rx).

No underscores in property names, please. Also this should document the
default value used by the driver when the property is absent.

Not quite in favor of the naming here; And this patch should
be sent to the devicetree maillist and add DT maintainers --
they would give some good naming advice.

From my point of view, I feel, since data lines are enabled
consecutively, probably it'd be clear just to have something
like "fsl,num-datalines = <2 2>", corresponding to "dl_mask
= <0x3 0x3>". I believe there're examples in the existing DT
bindings, so let's see how others suggest.

Would be better to mention: "as a default use case, if this
property is absent, only the first data line will be enabled
for both TX and RX", since it's an optional property.

And one more extension(?) of it could be what if there's no
data line being physically connected for one direction, for
example "dl_mask = <0x0 0x1>", indicating that SAI enables
one single TX line only, so driver would disable RX feature.
What do you think?

Your suggestion looks good to me. Anyhow, after reading again the
documentation it seems that datalines are not always required to
be consecutive.

The need to be consecutive only when FIFO combine mode is enabled.
Will fix the documentation in the next version.
