The correct is the latter, although I see now Mark stopped stripping
dt-bindings in such case. Log is still suggesting that (git log
--oneline -- Documentation/devicetree/bindings/spi/ | grep "^[0-9a-f]\+
spi:" | wc -l gives 370 vs 130), although I understand now different
approach.

It's also mentioned here:
