Hi Russell,
thanks for the clarification.

So the question is mostly whether four I2S data pins with a single
shared WS/SCK input should be called "four I2S ports with shared clocks"
or "one I2S port with up to four data lanes". I'd lean towards the
latter.
How audio2_i2s is forced to synchronize its clock output to audio1_i2s
is a problem their bindings will have to handle.
