As a general rule of thumb, using the driver as justification for
dt-bindings is never a good reason. The bindings describe the hardware,
not the driver.
Assuming I found the correct datasheet [1], I see a power enable pin
and a mode control pin, so I would say that this isn't a trivial device.
Therefore this will need it's own new file. We could at least add
power-gpios and power-supply properties. How to handle the mode pin
isn't so clear to me though, so might omit that for now.
