Ok, I will drop the i2c part. Are you ok with the below compatible
strings?
- fsl,lx2160a-qds-qixis-cpld
- fsl,lx2162a-qds-qixis-cpld
- fsl,ls1028a-qds-qixis-cpld

Yes, it is. Thanks for the confirmation.

Yes, I agree that the current binding file is wrong. I even said this in
one of my ealier replies to the bot which found the new DTB warnings.
I will fix it in v2.
