If you want bindings reviewed, then you need to Cc
devicetree@...r.kernel.org. Otherwise you may be waiting until the 6th
version or later or never.

New bindings should be dual licensed:

DRM is a Linux thing and shouldn't be part of a binding.

No, this should be you or someone that knows the h/w.

We generally try to avoid this virtual node as it doesn't represent
any h/w. Can't you bind the driver to the DPU directly?
