That's all fine. The bindings describe the hardware, not the driver's
capabilities.

Again, this is about the hardware, not the driver. That information is also
part of the driver.

As noted, that depends on the board. You just happen to have some where
they are not hard-wired.

The documentation in MAINTAINERS doesn't say that at least.
I think it'd be useful to have it.
