It's the DisCo spec, not SDCA.

The DisCo spec reads:

"
mipi-sdw-min-channel-number : This optional integer Property shall
indicate the minimum Channel Number for this Audio Port, if the
Audio Port uses consecutive inclusive Channel Numbers.
"

that's also ambiguous.

Maybe just use the spec definition "minimum Channel Number of this Audio
Port"
