No you are right, the bindings are being added earlier. I move it to
the patch adding the (then still unused) binding to the dts(i) files.
I'd rather not split it up completely, and add it with the binding
usage together so it's easier to spot if I do something with the
bindings that contradicts the documentation or is missing ;-).
