What I mean is use 1-bit per lane/slot. That *is* aligned to the 
existing properties:

  '^dai-tdm-slot-[rt]x-idle-mask$':
    $ref: /schemas/types.yaml#/definitions/uint32
    description: Idle slot mask. Optional. A bit being set to 1 indicates
      that the corresponding TDM slot is inactive/idle.

It can be extended to an array if you someday have more than 32 lanes, 
but it seems you only have 8 ATM.
