Hi Mateusz,

Do I understand it correctly that the patch actually removes an
outdated description of *driver* implementation, and not outdated
hardware description? If so, then maybe it makes sense to rework the
patch title and commit message in a way Rob suggests. I.e. rather than
stating that the patch removes an outdated information, instead
mention it removes *software* (driver) description which was
incorrectly added earlier. Because bindings are only meant for
hardware description and should be completely independent of driver's
side of things. Also in that case it probably doesn't make much sense
referencing that commit for using set_trips ops. Just my two cents.

Thanks!
