I didn't do that back then wondering if the bindings are sensible to
keep even for removed arch (or more general drivers). In this case the
chip isn't old and unavailable, but just too small for sensible Linux
usage.

OTOH I'm not aware of any dtb usage on efm32.

No hard feelings here, if you consider it not useful to keep the binding
around, go on and remove them.

Best regards
Uwe
