-names is pointless when there is only one.

Otherwise,

You didn't reply to the question I had previously about that: What if at
some point, we have multiple dmas in the same binding?

Then add dma-names at that point and rx has to be first. If you know
there's other channels, then add them now. Don't evolve the bindings
needlessly based on what a driver supports.

Would another channel make sense here? Maybe multi-channel rx in which
case your naming wouldn't be setup for that. But "tx" on an ADC?

Hello Rob,

I can keep only "dmas" and remove "dma-names", but then, the API used by
the drivers that request channels requires a name parameter
(dma_request_slave_channel), and it will look always inside the
"dma-names" property to match the name and find the proper channel, and
it will fail in this case.

Looking in the general dma binding (dma.txt) I can see that both
properties are marked as required for a client driver, so that's why
I added both.

I can either keep dma-names; or try to find the channel properties by
looking directly into the OF node and create the dma_chan struct inside
my driver (maybe call some xlate function for the DMA controller), but
still need to get the DT property. A complicated option would be to
actually create an API inside the dmaengine to find a channel without
name.

Which approach you think it's best to pursue ?

Thanks,
Eugen

I don't understand why dma-names should be removed. For sure, if we have
only one channel, it becomes useless but the helpers to get a dma channel
rely on dma-names property.
