Yes and no.
For example the img4780 seems to need a clock reference in the
gpu node. But it could maybe connected in a parent node like recent
TI SoC do with the target-module approach.
And our goal is to end up with a common driver for all SoC and architectures
in far future. Then, probably clock, reset and power management should
be handled in the same way.

Ah, ok. I haven't read that one.

Ok. Good.

Ok.

Well, my concern as a regular .dts author is that I usually treat
bindings as documentation and giving hints how to write a .dts and
what to take care of. If it is not complete, I get into big trouble.

One says it needs a libyaml but after installing one my HOSTCC didn't find
it. The other asks for another script which seems to be missing.

Yes...
You see into what issues a first time YAML/schema writer with 35 years C but no
YAML, Python or JSON experience runs into...
Writing bindings as .txt was easy :)

I am not sure if I understand that yet.

Yes that is clear. I kept it for reference what I intended to translate from.
