Subject: [RESEND] Documentation of device tree bindings for mfd devices

Hi,

I wrote a driver for the backlight of the tps65217 PMIC, which is a
mfd device. The driver has device tree support and I want to document
the bindings.

It is not clear to me where this documentation should go. Currently
the bindings of the tps65217 driver are documented in
Documentation/devicetree/bindings/regulator/tps65217.txt , which
definitely isn't the right place to add backlight specific
documentation. The common practice seems to be to document mfd devices
including their subdevices in Documentation/devicetree/bindings/mfd.
To follow this convention my steps would be moving tps65217.txt to the
mfd directory and adding the backlight specific documentation.

Please confirm whether this is the correct/preferred way to document
device tree bindings of mfd devices
