There are default schemas in the dt-core, which defines the dmas and dma-names
type, but the exact naming and number of phandler+identifiers are implementation
specific. So it's either supposed to be implemented on the generic SPI controller
basis (like in someplace of spi-controller.yaml) or in individual controllers DT
schema. As Mark said we don't have any DMA properties definition in the generic
SPI controller schema (spi-controller.yaml), so the particular SPI controllers
DT schemas have got their own DMA properties declared. Most of them BTW use the
same naming as we do here: "rx" and "tx", but some alas don't.
