1. why are DT people and list not added to this? I have added that
2. should we have a property for a specific peripheral? Wouldn't it help to have
a generic property for peripheral connected which can be scaled to more IPs
being connected in future?
3. Please use right subsystem name, it damengine: not dma:

Sorry missed it. I will add in v2. Thanks.

Good point! I will rename this property to xlnx,axistream-connected and
update description. It can then be reused for other usecases as well.

I will fix.
