I am not a DT mainainer, but sometimes when I see a binding that
appears to be wrong I speak up. In this case, the binding was one of
those.

That doesn't mean you should necessarily rely on me for the rest of
the review, there are several dedicated maintainers right now that
should be able to spread the load across them, and it is their ack you
should seek on the binding, not mine.

That being said: this latest version looks good to me. See how much
simpler the binding got when you stopped trying to describe driver
behavior and focused on describing hardware? That's the way we want it
to look like.

So, I have no more objections to it, and I hope you can get a quick
review from a DT maintainer on the rest of the binding.
