Feels like some use - would make this easier to parse.  xlnx,num-aie-channels.
Similar to the next one. How is this related to the number of child nodes?

Given you have subnodes called supplyxxx why is a count
of those needed or is this not counting those?

Would the generic property "label" be useable here?

This is very generic.  We have it described for ADC channels already in
bindings/iio/adc/adc.yaml.  Why can't we use that here?
That binding does rely on matching against 'channel' for node names though.
Where a 'type of channel' has been relevant IIRC we've always added
a separate property rather than using the child node name.

This one seems unusual.  I guess it makes a configuration difference
of some type.  I'll look at the code to see if that answers the question.

As above. label tends to get used for things like this.
