I was initially concerned about the risk of a potential ABI breakage, 
but I think that's not really a problem since dma-names is not directly 
accessed in the driver and DT Kernel API doesn't rely on a particular order.

If there are no objections, I would switch the order in the binding to 
tx->rx, since that's what most of the DTS use, and fix the remaining ones.
