Thank you for your patch. There is something to discuss/improve.

How about alphabetical order?

Use consistent quotes (everywhere " or ').

Describe the items because otherwise you allow any order. The list will
be unfortunately quite long, but still readable enough.

You called it I2S transceiver but isn't it also actually I2S controller?
If yes, then the node name should be probably "i2s".
