That's not entirely true. Bindings describe the hardware in the most
complete way we can. Not the driver. Whether driver supports something
or not, is not relevant here, except that we don't want to document
non-existing things or stuff out of tree.

This could be even merged without change in the driver. However it's not
the case here as driver already supports it, so your request is fulfilled.
