The QMC (QUICC mutichannel controller) is a controller present in some
PowerQUICC SoC such as MPC885.
The QMC HDLC uses the QMC controller to transfer HDLC data.

The name was based on the fsl,qmc-audio.yaml already present upstream.
  https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v6.4/source/Documentation/devicetree/bindings/sound/fsl,qmc-audio.yaml

If needed, I can change to:
  title: QMC (QUICC Multichannel Controller) HDLC
Let me known if it is better to you.

The QMC and the QMC channel are something specific to the SoC. This IP is only
available on some Freescale/NXP SoCs.

When I upstreamed the 'fsl,qmc-audio.yaml', I first used a generic name for this
property and Kristoff asked to change to a vendor prefixed name.
  https://lore.kernel.org/linux-kernel/1dfade07-f8c4-2e16-00dc-c7d183708259@linaro.org/

Based on this, as the property 'fsl,qmc-chan' has the exact same meaning in
fsl,qmc-audio.yaml and fsl,qmc-hdlc.yaml, I use the same name.

Best regards,
Hervé
