If we had a setup where there was more than one place that, e.g. the
RX stream from the offload could be piped, then I would add a 3rd
cell to describe that. If the hardware is fixed and the RX stream
always goes to a specific DMA channel, then it doesn't seem like we
need to describe that in the SPI controller node because the hardware
is fixed.
