That file is explicitly part of the binding; any driver that implements
this binding needs to use the same values. As such, that file would
typically be part of the patch that adds the binding doc, not part of
the patch that implements the driver.

No need to respin the series just because of that though.

"firmware" is rather generic. I'd suggest a vendor prefix for the
property name; raspberrypi,firmware.
