Please be more specific, I really can't tell what this is supposed to be
doing from the above - in what way is the binding not common and why
would anyone care?  Please also address why this is done as a completely
separate implementation rather than a new revision of simple-card and CC
Morimoto-san so he can review (given that he did simple-card initially).

As you know all device tree bindings require binding documents; you must
supply a binding document.  I'm not going to look at any DT patches that
don't include binding documentation.

In general please pay attention to changelogs and documentation when
submitting patches, the harder it is to understand what a patch is
supposed to do or why the harder it is to review.  I keep saying this,
it's really important.
