I think it depends on the specific name the property is tied too. For interrupt and reg properties which have a long history and convention, the order should be defined. IIRC, this was Grant's position too. For new bindings, perhaps we can be more lenient.

At least in case of the dmaengine binding, order is not significant and cannot be, because you may have multiple DMA specifiers referring to the a output of the slave device connected to multiple dma engines, and we require that they all use the same name in that case.
