Thanks for the patches.

We should (still) stay away from defining the "dma-names" property
at the SoC level, because doing that causes serious issues in certain
cases.  Thus, I'd suggest that this patch is dropped, and that the
"dma-names" property is defined instead at the board level, where
it's needed and tested to work as expected.

Please see commit bf6f26deb0e8 (arm64: dts: rockchip: Add dma-names
to uart1 on quartz64-b, 2024-06-28) for further explanation.

If/when the underlying issues are debugged and resolved, we can get
back to defining the "dma-names" property at the SoC level.
