This is just a trigger here. Basically, I have no probelm in placing
my own name here. AFAIR Mr. Dinh Nguyen has his name on the other
intel/altera related files, so I'm not sure who decides that. Please
let me know.
Basically this particular patch is related to my initial questions
(cover letter):
1.) Documentation/devicetree/bindings:
Executing the following find...
$ find ./Documentation/devicetree/bindings -name socfpga-\*.txt
...shows 4 text files describing "altr," bindings. I sketch-implemented
the clock binding and could reduce some of my dtbs_check warnings. So, my
questions is, if this is the right way? Shall I try to write .yaml files
for all 4 of them, too? Related to that, who will be maintainer?
2.) Some bindings, e.g. the Silabs clock generator seem to have no
driver, thus show up as warning:
compatible = "silabs,si5338";
IMHO it is most likely rather to be probed/loaded in the SPL of the
bootloader. Is it problematic to keep those declarations (showing up as
warning in dtbs_check) or how to deal with them?
3.) Please, give me some feedback if the DT and binding adjustments are
going into total wrong direction, or where I may do better. If it is ok,
and acceptable, or what is still missing. I tried to split them, to
allow for better single integration / discussion let me know if this is
ok, too.

Ok (the description was taken as content from the corresponding .txt file)

as above, taken from .txt - So, I see there seems to be some interest
to convert the .txt files into .yaml files. I will have a look at the
other altr, ....txt -> .yaml cases, but will need to do more readings
first. This may become a different patch set, then.
